Zoo Boo Fun!

This past weekend weekend we decided to take Lily to the Houston Zoo for an event they call Zoo Boo! This is an event where they have the zoo Halloween themed, and they have special Halloween events for the children. They also encourage children to come in costumes. We thought this would be a fun thing to take Lily to, since we aren't doing anything for Halloween.

I have to say Lily didn't notice most of the animals. One reason was because they were so far away. The second reason...most of the animals were asleep! Seriously the lions, tigers, and orangutans were all asleep. The bears were hiding in the trench right below the railing, and we were not going to hold her over the edge so she could see them. She enjoy the elephants and giraffes, and her favorite by far was the sea lions. I think it had to do with them splashing around. She also liked the reptile house, but I'm going to pretend that didn't happen. We aren't going to have snakes, and other things like that in the house!

It was a successful outing. She happily wore her costume the whole time, and she didn't get fussy until it was time to leave (which happened to be nap time.) Below are some pictures of her first zoo experience.
