Dinosaurs at the Zoo

The Houston zoo has put up a dinosaur exhibit for the summer and last Thursday was one of their members free days so I packed up the kids and we headed off to the zoo. Because we are members and go so often I told Mason that we were just there for the dinosaurs and nothing else. We would come back again another time to look at all the other animals. Amazingly he was okay with this and did an awesome job staying close to me and listening. So back to the Dinos :) They were pretty neat looking if I do say so myself. They didnt walk or anything but they did move their heads and eyes and mouths and they roared every so often. Not knowing what to expect I was concerned that Mason might be a little afraid at first but NOPE he ran right up to the the rope and yelled "WOW, COOL!!! Look mom, look." He was super cute about it. At the end of the exhibit they stamped your hand just in case you wanted to walk back through so we got a stamp and had a snack and walked through a 2nd time just for fun. :)

After we left the zoo Mason wanted to ride the train at Hermann Park so we went ahead and did that too.


Here are the kids ready to ride the train. Mason did not want to sit to take this picture haha

Have a great week everyone!!
