Day 3 - Exploring Houston!

We had a whole day in Houston and boy did we explore!  We wanted to start our day at the Children's Museum and ended up having some time to explore a nearby park with amazing gardens!  There was a circular garden with a beautiful waterfall.  We explored just a small amount, but enjoyed the flowers, the turtle we spied, the beautiful trees, waterfall... such a great start to our day!

Then we headed to the Children's Museum where we had a blast playing with their outside water area!  Pipes to turn on and off, redirecting water everywhere, making currents and racing boats and just enjoying the weather!  We stayed quite awhile there and could have spent so much more time!  

Around lunch, we headed across town to the zoo, which was also situated in a beautiful park with a train circling around!  Parking took patience and luck, but we found a spot!  We ate lunch near a pond and spied fish, birds and people using paddle boats!  It was very busy, but we rented a stroller and explored a lot of the zoo!  Bald eagles, meerkats, reptiles and some more carousel rides!  We finished off our very busy day with a train ride around the beautiful park area, complete with different 'stations', a Mickey Mouse sighting and an electric commuter train sighting!  We ordered in pizza and collapsed at the end of that day!  The boys enjoyed winding down with some tv from their beds!
