ZOO BOO!!!

We took Hadley to the Houston Zoo for the first time! It just happened to be Zoo Boo! They both loved it!  And my mom aka Gigi went with us. Hayden was really into the cattle type animals. You know the ones most people just walk by? One licked him and we had to make him leave kicking and screaming because he thought it was so cool. :)
He made sure Hadley saw everything! They both got super excited to see the chimpanzees. The chimpanzee even posed for pictures with the kids. It was precious. I remember a few years ago the orangatang (sp) scared the crap out of Hayden when it ran at the window. I laughed so hard I almost peed myself then.
The African Forest was open and that was very neat. We had not been since it opened. It was fun for Hayden to find all the characters to The Lion King. He loved that. He was ecstatic to find the monkey with the red but. I forget his name. lol.
Hadley enjoyed the fish. She loves to stare at them. We tried to get Hayden to touch a snake but he was terrified . Hadley wanted to touch it but some people cut us off and she got distracted. We did learn that the albino alligator was born the same year as me. So he is 24 years old.
Since it was Zoo Boo the played awkward music for kids (like lady Gaga and Brittnay Spears) and Hayden got to go trick or treating and got a tattoo. They even had a pumpkin patch and Hayden got Hadley and himself a pumpkin, The boy is always thinking about his sister. <3 I just love that.  Our day ended with two very sleepy kids and a tired momma, daddy and Gigi. But it sure was a blast! As we left Hayden chased a giraffe lady on stilts just to give her a high five! haha
