Houston Zoo and Snow Day

The weather has been beautiful so we've had some fun adventures at home. First we went to the Houston zoo and saw some cool animals and played on the park playground.

Then, the very next day, we went to a local park and attended a snow day. The snow day, was basically a local event, where they shipped in man-made snow and covered large areas in a park and on a hill so our sweet Texas children who don't get snowy winters would get their very own winter wonderland. It was really neat and of course Connor loved throwing snow balls the best. Avery got to feel the snow too and taste a little. It just so happened to be 85 degrees, so the cold snow felt great.

Enjoy the pictures of our fun!

Connor being silly, running in and out of the cave. He is so imaginative lately and comes up with new "games" all the time.

Avery and Connor in the burrow/cave.

Lazy lions

Goofy Giraffe and a zebra.

Connor having fun on the animal carousel. 

While Daddy and Connor were on the carousel, Avery and I watched.

Connor had so much fun on this little playground climbing up like spider man and going down the slide. He did it over and over again until we finally had to move on.

While Connor played, Avery got to do some of her own spider man style crusin'.

Peak a boo!

Acting like prairie dogs, poking up from our burrow.

Now we're at snow day and clearly, Connor just pelted me with a cold snow ball.

As you can see, a lot of people wanted to experience real snow, even if it was just for an afternoon.

Eating snow makes you cold. Brrrr.

Can you see Connor and Jeff at the top of the sledding hill? Jeff has an orange shirt and Connor has the 17 Aggie jersey. I am bummed, because I took a video of them going down the hill, but we let Connor see the video and after it finished, he accidentally deleted it. Too bad. It was funny, because at the end, they ran smack into one of the teenage helpers. No one was hurt, so it was just really funny.

While Connor and I were back playing in the snow, Jeff took a little photo shoot of Avery.

Avery talking. Ahhh!

She definitely has a fiery personality. We could be in for some trouble with this little dickens.

Another Treadway...another set of kissable cheeks.

Daddy, I'm going to get you.

Avery checking out the snow.

Brother and sister playing together.

Now just a few extra pics. Here is sweet Avery before bath in just a diaper. Babies look so cute in just a diaper sometimes.

My sweet fashionista in a floral top, jeggings and fur lined boots. Having a girl is soooo fun.

If we're all having fun playing in the evenings we sometimes do combo baths and bedtime. I feel like they don't look anything alike in this picture. What do you think?

Double story time. So much love.
