Zoo Lights

Last weekend we went to the Houston Zoo Lights event. There were fabulous light displays, and the zoo was incredibly crowded!! It was a little hard to keep together a group of 7 adults and 4 kids, but we had a good time trying! We were especially excited to have 2 grandmas and 2 different sets of cousins with us. Joe's mom visited from Virginia last week, and Joe's sister & my brother brought their families along, plus my mom was able to join us as well.

The animals at the zoo apparently aren't that interested in Zoo Lights - we saw elephants, giraffes, zebras, and a distant rhino. We did get to see fish in the aquarium - not one of those fish was taking a nap!

you can either see the giraffes or the baby but not both. 

elephants are sooo fast it's not easy to catch a still shot. 

fascinating jellyfish exhibit. joe's fave.

I know, the photo quality is abysmal. Just try to imagine how amazing those lights and how non-blurry the animals.

the bigger kids rode the carousel while the littlest kid snacked.
not a lot of seating around the carousel. 

weird exhibit but cool photo of joe and E. 

even cooler photo of gran and jack.
