This past weekend here in Houston, the weather was amazing. Not to hot, not to cold, just right. =-) With that being said, we decided to go to the Houston Zoo. They are currently renovating parts of the Houston Zoo, and should be done with a new exhibit, called Africa in December. But what they do have open is beautiful. It was "Boo at the Zoo" this past weekend, so everything was decorated great. They even had giant candy corns (one of my fav Halloween candy).
After seeing all of the decorations, we immediately went to see Toby the Red Panda bear. He was awake, and even now has a friend. Sorry the pictures are a little blurry, I was taking it through the glass. (This first picture is what he really looks like.)
One of Cassidy's favorite animals are the flamingos. They are definetly funny little birds. But they are pretty.
We even saw baby flamingos, did you know they aren't pink?
Another fun animal we saw was a stork. I don't know if I had ever seen one before. They are pretty cute in their own way.
The elephants were in their enclosure, and we got to see the new babies that have recently been born. Baylor and Tupelo. Tupelo weighed 273 pounds and was born October 3rd. Baylor was born May 4th. Anyway, they were adorable. Sorry the pictures aren't great, but we were taking them in their enclosure, with them behind their cages.
We also went to the sea lion show. Cassidy and Mike have always loved both seals and sea lions, and we can't ever come to the zoo without seeing the sea lion show. It is always a lot of fun.
We also saw a ton of other animals, so without further or do, here are all the other pics!
Until next post!
