Last week

I broke down and bought a Zoo membership thinking that we (Kelly, myself, and the kids) would be able to go some during the summer and get our moneys worth. I know that Houston has HOT summers, but thought that if we went right when it opened and stayed a couple of hours we would be hot, but that's life. However, with the temps being around 100 everyday, it has been to miserable to go. But last Monday, the temperature had dropped back to the "cool" lower 90's so I thought "here is our chance". We went, and while it was hot, it wasn't too bad. At times a breeze even blew through. I guess the animals noticed a change too. We saw the most "action" that I had ever seen. We also took the kids on the train ride.

On Friday, my friend, Michele, and I met to play with the kids (she has 2 precious girls) at Discovery Green. I hadn't been down there and was excited to go and see it. She knew about a Gymboree class that is there on Fridays so we took the kids. Afterwards we let the kids play in the water fountains and then had a picnic.
