Meet Miles the baby Masai giraffe at the Houston Zoo. Miles was born on January 30th (which makes him 28 days old!) and he's currently 6'5'' and 155 lbs of pure cuteness! He's one of the most precious creatures Mommy has ever seen (I'm a little obsessed about him...check out www.houstonzoo.org/babygiraffe if you're interested in Mr. Adorable) Mommy is also a little partial to his name...for those in "the know";) We are all looking forward to visiting Miles and watching him grow which apparently giraffes do pretty quickly.
It was Avery's first time to the zoo and she had a blast. She's very observant and when we would put her in front of an exhibit you could see her look at the animals in amazement.
Ken's favorite was the lion (that's him in the background being lazy ...like cats sometimes are:). The lion's name is Jonathan , but Ken and Val call him Alex...as in Alex the lion from the movie Madagascar. Speaking of Madagascar... we found out that there are REALLY animals called fossa and over 50% of there diet consists of lemurs! Ha Ha!
Valerie's favorite was the meerkats. They are so cute and interesting. This picture is hilarious because you can't see the glass separating them!
The Houston Zoo is constantly improving and expanding (as much as they can). It it one of our favorite family outings. We usually ride the Hermann Park train , but this trip we missed it. They closed just before we got to it, but we are looking forward to our next visit when the new train depot will hopefully be finished.
