Work Picnic at the Houston Zoo

My work had a family picnic at the Houston Zoo.  It was a little crazy since it started right at the beginning of the boys naps.  We decided to let them skip the nap and hope that they slept in the car on the way down there for a bit.  Thing 2 was out pretty quick, but Thing 1 per his usual self didn't want to sleep and fell asleep 5 mins before we got there.  They were so tired.  But I think overall they still had a really good time, and for being as tired as they were they were really good until it was time to leave - then they had a huge meltdown!  But that was to be expected.

Waiting to ride the carousel - they were sweating so bad with the masks on but refused to take them off (Thing 1 is the in the orange and white stripes)

Thing 2 would only ride if Daddy was holding him

Thing 1 riding all by himself

The finished product

They brought out some live animals - she touched it and was ok till it moved.  When she brought it closer to the boys they freaked and and wouldn't stop screaming.

Tired kiddos - although Thing 1 looks like he is ready to go some more
