Zoobilee: the details

So, we posted that picture of Kara in the piranha tunnel with little to no explanation. Zoobilee is an event hosted by the Houston Zoo. We were invited to come to the zoo after hours and participate in games, have snacks, and basically enjoy the place when it wasn't scorching hot. It may have been our best zoo trip ever.

One of the things that made it a great trip was that Kara has become aware of the animals. She "breeeeee"ed when she saw the elephants, "lizzzzz"ed when we looked at the Komodo Dragons, "meow"ed at the picture of a meerkat (she thinks meerkats are cats), and excitedly signed "fish" when we visited the piranhas.

For those who have not seen our little dancer, here is a video of Kara rocking out at the DJ booth. I also recommend watching some of the kids in the background, they have some pretty great moves. I apologize in advance because I didn't know that you shouldn't try different angles while taking video. The editing has made it choppy, but at least you will be able to watch without having to turn your head to the side!
