We all went to the Houston Zoo this weekend for the Zoo Boo Halloween experience. We tried to go on Saturday, but were unable, after 45 minutes, to find a parking spot — what GENIUS decided to hold Zoo Boo and the Asian Festival in the same area on the same weekend?? Sunday we tried again, and were able to get a parking spot by hovering like vultures as another family came out of the zoo.
Neither Connor nor Sionna wanted to wear a costume, but we had a lot of fun watching all the kids who were dressed-up. We saw twin girls, about age 3, who were dice – really cute costumes.
There weren’t a lot of activities to do at the zoo. We did our usual rounds of the animals and rode the carousel *1 time* (oh woe!) before the kid’s zoo area closed. Sionna was especially upset because she loves that carousel. (Again, Again!)
We are zoo members, so didn’t have to pay for admission. I think that next year, though, we won’t attend the Zoo Boo – it was really not all that different from the usual zoo trip, and we didn’t like the traffic and parking problems.
Coming up in December is the Winter Wild experience. We”ll see how the activities and parking are this year – we did enjoy it last year.
