Lions and Tiger and Bears!

This weekend we went to Houston for a quick getaway. We packed up on Friday morning and spent Friday afternoon poolside. Saturday morning we went to the Houston Zoo, napped as a family that afternoon after a short dip in the pool and ate at one of our favorite restaurants - despite a power outage in the middle of our meal. We all had a great time!

Heather and Quinn enjoy a refreshing smoothie by the pool.

Wesley wakes up!

Quinn absolutley LOVED her first carousel ride.

Her first ride was quickly followed by her second ride.

This is a tribute to a photo of Heather taken about 30 years earlier

at the same zoo with a very similar water fountain.
