Houston Zoo

Checking out the seals with daddy


She thought the flamingos were funny looking

Her poor cheeks were red from running in the heat

We finally convinced her to take a break and ride in her wagon.

She wanted to walk most of the time, but it was just too hot.

Looking for the bears!

The Downtown Aquarium

Petting the sting rays! She wanted to pet the shark also

but she couldnt reach her arm to the bottom!

We were able to take Izzy to the Houston Zoo for a little mini trip before baby Gabby arrives. It was very hot and I was miserable but I thought it was important for us to do something fun with Izzy. After the zoo we checked into our hotel - Embassy Suites downtown for some rest and then we headed to the Downtown Aquarium for supper. Izzy liked the aquarium more than the zoo. She really didnt care about the animals at the zoo like I thought she would, but she LOVED looking at the sea creatures at the aquarium and her favorite thing was petting the sting rays! She is definetely a dare devil and she would have played with them all night if we let her. After the aquarium we headed back to the hotel for some swimming. We got lucky and we were the only ones in the pool! Izzy is a total water bug just like me. She also takes after me in that she loves hotel rooms. This is the second time she has stayed in a hotel and she loved every minute of it. In fact I think she would have been just as happy staying in the hotel room playing the whole time.
