Greetings from the Houston Zoo!


Who in their right mind would decide on a whim to go to the Houston Zoo on a Saturday in August? Well...the Forbes Clan...that's who! We doused on the sunblock, packed a lunch and plenty of water and headed out. It actually wasn't bad at all. Sure, it was hot, but the zoo wasn't crowded at all and we took our time and made sure to get in some shade every now and then.
What made the day even more special and fun was that this is the FIRST time we have been to the zoo as a family of four. Can you believe that? Scott and I took Emerson several times before Kirby came along. Once I started staying home though, the zoo somehow became something done with other stay at home mom friends during the week. We had such a great time together, that I know Daddy will be making more zoo trips with us more often! Of course, we managed to not get one single picture of Daddy at the zoo, so here's one of Mommy...

One should always save time for a little goat grooming...
And be sure to get behind the ears...


Of course, no trip to the zoo is complete without a ride on the Hermann Park train. That little train has been around as long as Scott and I can both remember and we love that our girls will have memories of it too!
