Zoo!

This is over two months late, but I want to document Carter's first trip to the Houston Zoo! We went the first week in June so it wouldn't be too hot and we could hopefully beat the school groups since it was the last week of school.  We went with our playgroup which was perfect since most of them had been and showed us the hot spots!

We started in the aquarium with Courtney and Case.  Carter was more interested in the sunscreen tube than the fish.

Then we saw the seals.  Carter loved them until they jumped out of the water to touch the ball and splashed back into the water.  He HATED it and would cry every time they would jump.

Next up was the elephants and longhorns.  I tried to get Carter to say "Bevo" but he wasn't interested. 

 One of the very best parts of the day was the chimps!  They were right up against the window and there was a ledge for Carter to stand on.  He could touch the glass and the chimps would stare right back at him.  They were rolling around, eating and playing together.  We stayed for awhile since it was cool inside and Carter was very content to just sit and watch the chimps play.

Another cool exhibit was the giraffes.  We paid to feed them which was a super cool experience.  Carter didn't really notice and was as interested in people watching as he was in giraffe feeding, but it was still pretty cool.  And provided for some great pictures!

We also saw the rhinos, lions, tigers, bears and monkeys! Well, only one of us saw the monkeys.

Carter NEVER falls asleep in his stroller so you KNOW he was tired if he was sleeping outside and missing the monkeys! He slept the entire way home, too!

I'm anxious for the weather to cool off so we can go back to the zoo.  Especially now that Carter can walk I really think he would have a blast.  We're going to need to look into getting a zoo pass.
