Saturday the 25th- houston zoo and the red onion

On Saturday morning we got up and took Pp and Sara to get donuts on the way to the zoo. There are so many donut shops here it, well it's crazy! But they are really good, I think Pp and Sara enjoyed them. Then we went to the zoo were it was Halloween day but we didn't know and so we didn't dress up the kids. Which was lucky for them, it was kind of a warm day, and I was a little worried about some of the kids we saw. They looked like they were for sure going to pass out before the day was over. But there were some fun Halloween things going on that the boys did participate in. The Houston zoo has some pretty cool animals I have never seen anywhere else. I asked Isaac the other day what his favorite animal at the zoo had been and he told me he didn't know, but that we wanted to go back and one of those green ice treats again. Go figure you take your kids to the zoo to see the animals and the most memorable part is the sugar you let them have while there. Although I have to say I quite enjoyed the lemonade I got at the zoo.

We've got our shades and we're ready to roll.

This is my favorite animal at the zoo. I think he's called a forest giraffe. We even saw one with horns which made them even cooler looking. The boys quite liked him too because he liked to stick his very long tongue out.

Isaac loves his shark shades because he can put them up on his head like mom and dad do with their glasses.

Isaac enjoying his green snow cone. His favorite part. They even had pumpkins for the kids as part of there Halloween celebration day.

Pp, Sara, and Dad all washing there hands off in the large trough outside the petting zoo.

Beckam was getting just a little grummpy near the end of the trip so we decided to make one last stop and then leave. Of course he fell asleep at that one last stop. So he and I hung out in the shade while everyone else went to see the monkeys that we had skipped because Beckam hadn't seemed up to it.

After we took a little break at home we took them to eat at one of our favorite places, the red onion. Yum!

The next morning (after a horrible night with four of us in the same bed and only two of us wanting to sleep). Sam took his mom and sister to the airport. We had lots of fun thank you Pp and Sara. We miss them already, and are already looking forward to our Utah visit for Thanksgiving.
