put me in the zoo

We finally went to the Houston Zoo on Wednesday with our Preschool Co-op and some friends from church. It was beautiful weather, and we had a BLAST. We were there for about 3.5 hours, and still only saw about 1/2 of the zoo! The Houston Zoo is HUGE!! The kids were so good, and such troopers! Benson hung out in the stroller the whole time, and loved it! Bailey walked the entire time and never complained! We had a picnic by the Okapis, and stopped for a snack in the shade by the Flamingos (just for you, Guh L!).
It was a great day!
We got to stand about 3 feet away from an 8 month old Cheetah Cub while he was out walking around the zoo with the keepers. The Cheetah Cubs are being raised with the Anatolian Shepherd Dogs so they both learn how live in a pack, like they would in nature. The dogs were HUGE, and also only 8 months old! The Cheetah Cubs made funny little chirping noises. Bailey was SO interested in the 'puppies.' I hardly call something the size of a pony a "puppy."
