Our first trip to the Zoo!

Yes, it's true today was Reese's first trip to the Houston Zoo. I know, I know, the Zoo is open every day and we've had many chances to go, but we never made it. So today we went and she loved it! She is at the perfect age to enjoy the animals.




At first, she just chilled in her stroller eating her goldfish.

We saw Zebras...




And Elands




Lioness, the Lion named Johnathan, was sleeping soundly.



Then Reese perked up and decided she wanted to push the stroller.



Then we say the most beautiful Ankole Cattle. Look at those horns.



MaMoo held her up to see them even better.



Then Reese jumped up all by herself to see the animals. Look at that face she is giving me.



She loved getting a closer look.



The Cloud Leopard was pacing back and forth.



While the Fossa ran up and down the wall.



This was the only shot of us both looking at the camera (sort of).



The Grizzly Bear was quite lazy like the Lion.



Reese loved the Elephants. We counted four of them including a baby elephant. They were enjoying hay for lunch.






And finally we found the monkeys! Reese ran up and down the ramps to see each Primate.



The Mandrill is so colorful!



Reese and GiGi got a closer look.



You can see Reese's excitement in her toes.



These monkey's were very loud, letting us know this is their territory. Reese didn't flinch.



And last but not least, we saw the tall and graceful Giraffes.



The weather was perfect for a morning at the Zoo. We can't wait until our next trip.



When Daddy got home, Reese told him all about our trip to the Zoo. She remembered the big elephants and that they were eating hay. She also remembered the lion was sleeping.
