Houston Zoo and Downtown Aquarium

When I asked the kids what they wanted to do in Houston, they both said, "The Houston Zoo and Downtown Aquarium!" So we went!

Houston Zoo
 Sea Turtle

 Red Panda

 Fruit Bat
This picture should actually have the branch running along the left side with the bat leaning to the right eating the fruit.

 Meerkat

 Asian Elephant
This one came over to eat while we were standing there and got hay all over us.  It was fun to be that close watching it eat.  Another one came over to eat too.
 Bald Eagle

 Goats at the Petting Farm

 Lion

 American Alligator
It is not an albino alligator.  It is just white.


Downtown Aquarium
 Sting Rays we could actually touch

 Shark Tank
They have a train you ride through the shark tank.  It stops, tells you about the sharks, and lets you see them all for several minutes.  They even have Sawfish, which were really neat.
(Yes, I know my picture is blurry.)

 Octopus
(Sorry about the reflection at the bottom of the picture.)
 
 White Tiger

Lobster
(It had a lot of blue on it, so it might have been a Blue Lobster, but I don't remember.)
