rainy day fun!

Last week, my friend Jenni asked us if we'd like to join her and her daughter, Jillian at the zoo! But of course, it was pouring by the time we made it to Houston.

I suggested the Children's Museum, because it was near the zoo AND we wouldn't get soaking wet!

I am used to going to the museum during the school year, NOT the summer...and guess what? It was a zoo! SWARMED with people and we could barely keep an eye on the little ones.

So, our museum trip lasted 45minutes :(


I am NOT ready to see these two driving off together...SCARY! Momma will be a wreck. I'll have to make sure they know-NO GIRLS ALLOWED IN YOUR CAR!!!!!!

So, after our 45minute trip, we decided to check out the zoo anyway...yes, it was raining but we were ready to see some animals and have some Zoo fun! these pictures are awful because my camera kept fogging up from the humidity and rain! I should have captured a picture of my hair...it was AWFUL! Big 'ol frizzy mess!

The perks of going to the zoo in the rain: nobody is there, so you have the place to yourselves! We were able to watch them feed the lions-so cool! The kids loved it! Don't worry, I made sure that fence was secure before letting my kids get up close and personal!

The kids favorites from our rainy, Zoo day? The elephants, giraffe's and lions for sure! Oh and they loved all of the reptiles too! Mommy didn't enjoy seeing all those snakes, but my boys did!
We were afraid all of the animals would be hiding, but most of them were excited to see rain, I'm sure it's been SUPER hot for them here lately! Here's hoping a better Zoo trip is planned soon!
