Houston, Part 1

Last week we were able to take a trip down to Houston.  It was fairly spontaneous, because we decided to fly down and visit Neil's parents before Daphne turned two and we had to pay for her plane ticket.  While we were there, we drove to San Antonio to visit my brother and his family, and we had a great time!!  The first day was pretty laid back, and the second day we went to the zoo in the pouring rain.  :)  A lot of the animals were inside, but we still managed to have a fun time!

The kids loved playing at the park.  We've definitely missed playing outside!!

                 
                                        

These two had a great time together!

Cousin love!

At the Alamo!  We didn't get to take a tour since it was night, but it was really cool all lit up.

After the Alamo we went for a walk on the riverwalk. 

Daphne wanted to hold Sophie's hand the whole time :)

Since it was raining when we went to the zoo, we did a lot of inside exhibits.  This was the kids' favorite.

Zachary played with his umbrella all day

Eating a snack while we waited for the rain to let up a little (which it didn't do)

I was trying to show the torrential rain, but instead just got a good picture of Neil.

Hide-and-seek from the camera

What good is the rain if you can't run in it?

Looking at the bears, which were one of the only animals actually out....

We love Daddy!

Yep, I was there too...

"Mom, the hippo Pooped!!!"  (it was actually quite disgusting)

so cute!
