Ben's First Zoo Trip!


About 10 days ago, Ben got to his Aunt Alicia while she was in the US for a wedding. He took his first trip to the Houston Zoo! We arrived when it opened, and that was a great decision due to the small amount of people and the rising temperatures outside. His Aunt Alicia, Opa Peter and Oma Angie were excited to see him!

It was very hot outside, but Ben had a cool hat and sunglasses to help mitigate the effects!













Ben seemed to have a lot of fun - he was constantly looking around. He saw some animals but was really focused on the other children walking around and the plants.

There is a red panda cub at the zoo - we were able to catch it eating!



We were all very hungry and tired from the heat after a couple of hours, so we went to PotBelly for lunch. Ben had some of his bottle during the zoo, and he fell asleep as soon as we drove out of the zoo parking lot. After lunch, Alicia hung out with Ben and me at home.



Later, Oma Angie, Opa Peter and Uncle Aaron came to have dinner with us and see Benjamin!



A fun day, but unfortunately it was back to work early the next morning!
