Houston Zoo Boo 2009

On weekends in October, the Houston Zoo puts on Zoo Boo to celebrate fall & Halloween. The weather was gorgeous on Saturday, so we headed to the zoo for the opening day of Zoo Boo! We met up with a few friends...Annie & Lizzy, Lauren & Aiden, and Michele, Scott & Zachary.

The kimono dragon exhibit- thank goodness for glass!

Next stop was the elephants (Horton)...Bella loves "Horton Hears a Who" movie and now calls elephants "Hortons".

Bella really enjoyed checking out the giraffes too.

The meerkats were digging around and she thought that was pretty funny.


For Zoo Boo, they have a pumpkin patch where the kids pick their pumpkins and then decorate them. Lizzy & Bella picking their little pumpkins.
