Mammy and Paw Paw got our whole family a year's membership to the Houston Zoo, so since this past Saturday looked like a promising day, we decided to go to the zoo! We left rather late, but we figured we see some of the park and catch the rest next visit. Well, little did we know, the zoo closes at 5:30pm during the winter months, so we only had an hour and half to see everything. Oh well....we'll definitely be back!
We invited our friends Greg and Rebeca and Ella's friend IV, and we all had such a great time. The first thing I wanted Ella to see was the elephant because she's always saying "elepant," and I know she would recognize that animal the most. Well, we went up to the exhibit, and she was mesmorized! She stared long and hard, and she finally looked over at me and said "elepant!" She watched and watched....it was priceless.
We trucked around the zoo in our big caddy double stroller, courtesy of Shelly! It worked great, and it definitely did the trick. It got cool quick when the sun started going down, so we had bundle up little Amelia. She just sat in the back of that stroller like "Driving Miss Daisy!"
Daddy's shoulders provided some great views of the animals. Ella felt almost as tall as the giraffes from up there!!
Ella and IV were so precious, getting so excited with every exhibit they saw. They stared and watched until we moved them to the next thing. 
Ella's favorite part about this trip (besides the elepants) was the tunnel that ran under the aquarium. She made it through the whole thing, thanks to her buddy IV. 
It was such a great time. Afterwards, we all ended the day with a nice dinner at Cheesecake Factory. The kids were great, and we all had a blast.
