On the way back home from Houston, we decided to drive through Waco. It's not on the way, but for those of you familiar with the area, I-45 really sucks. Especially on a Sunday. I don't know if it's the college students heading back to Sam Houston or what, but the traffic is terrific (not the good kind of terrific, either).
Anyway, a co-worker of Brad's took some awesome pictures of the lion cubs at the zoo in Waco, so we stopped in for a few hours.
I think the two on the right are the cubs.
The last time Noah visited a zoo was during our trip to Seattle when he was only 9 months, so I think he got a lot more enjoyment this time around.
I think the giraffes were his favorite.
Here's the very cool play area in the zoo.
Complete with giant snake with a mouth you could climb into - scary!
And Jackson's favorite...an awesome tree house with really tall slide. He went down said slide very slooowly and carefully.
It was only a brief tour since we had to get back to get the dogs, but it was a fun place. Pretty small, so it didn't take too long to see most of it. We missed some parts, though, including the jaguars! So we'll definitely have to go back.
We only live about 1 1/2 hours away, so we're thinking of going down and checking out the Dr. Pepper Museum as well. Mmm, I hear the original Dr. Pepper is the best stuff ever. We'll let you know if it rocks or not.
Next up, a trip to Hot Springs to hike up a big mountain and stay in a cool cabin on a lake. I think there might even be a paddle boat. It's going to be great!
