Zoo with Friends ~ 6-10-11

We headed to the Houston Zoo with our friends Cheryl and Caitlin. It was hot but we had a great time. Cameron wanted to see the giraffe's which are part of the new African exhibit. We explored most of the zoo, got to ride the carousel, and pet a snake! We headed home after eating lunch and all of us were exhausted.

Cameron was not sure at all about getting next to this gorilla. It took some convincing.






Braydon all smiles looking at the animals.







Cameron getting a drink from the lion.







Cameron got to see the giraffes










And he even got to have his picture taken with one.











AND ride on one!








We saw the new African exhibit. In the exhibit is the primates. I'm not sure which type these are but they were interesting to see up close. And as you can see, Braydon enjoyed them also.







Outside the entrance (or our exit) is the bongos. Cameron enjoyed climbing up and banging on them.

The adorable elephants.







The best family picture of the three of us. It was hot by this point and it was getting close to time to leave.





We stumbled upon a lady with a snake. If I remember correctly it was a sand snake. I couldn't believe that Cameron actually touched it. Michael and I HATE snakes so for Cameron to go "pet" them gave me chills.






My little monkeys!
