Houston Zoo

A few weekends ago we went to the Houston Zoo. Neither of us had been to this zoo in recent memory, so we thought it was time given that we live so close.

While the zoo isn't the nicest we've been to (and it looks like they are doing some work so that was encouraging), it was the perfect day to be outside, just beautiful weather, not too crowded, and we got there are opening so were done by lunchtime. Here are a few of the pictures I remembered to take in the midst of being in awe of these amazing animals!


A little overcast, but this is the park outside the zoo that is a shot down Montrose. I loved this view, and you can paddle boat out here or have a picnic. It was so nice!



Beautiful florals everywhere at the zoo. A Fleur-de-lis, of course a favorite of mine!

The Cheetah and I match.

Jonathan the Great. Oh this was just too funny when we realized the lion at the zoo is actually named Jonathan. There are posters all around about him. Perfect.

The sweet baby Giraffe. I guess this picture doesn't have perspective of how small he/she is compared to the adults, but I just loved the way he stood, so sweet!

This one smiled for the camera!

The Resting Longhorns.

More babies! The baby elephant was the most curious, active, and adorable creature!! We watched this baby and mama for awhile!

It was so much fun! And not very expsensive either. If you're in the area, you should definitely go! You can do it in half a day, we saw absolutely everything (though I didn't take pictures of it all because I was so busy seeing it all!)

Fun day!
