New Years at the Zoo, Paris and with Faith

New Years Eve day was packed with fun-filled events for parents and children alike.

9:30 AM Houston Zoo: A trip to the Houston Zoo to meet our friends Jordan and Charlie. It was great to catch up with them. Dayton and Charlie were excited to see the chimpanzees, rhinoserus and giraffes at the new African Forest. Dayton was literally one foot away from one of the chimps with the glass in between them, of course. Dayton LOVES seeing the animals and is starting to make animal noises. When I told him in the AM we needed to get ready to go to the zoo, he said, "Zoo.....rahr!".....bear/lion/tiger sound...take your pick.



12:30 PM Nap time - - no pictures taken...all household residents with thumbs were sleeping.

3:30 PM New Years in Paris at Wonderwild
Wonderwild is an indoor play gym for kids that is about 5 minutes away. They held an event for local kids to celebrate Paris' New Year due to the time difference. We met Denise, Jeremy and their girls, Brianna and Sophia, to ring in Paris' New Year. Dayton was the only kid dancing to the DJ. Check out the video at the bottom of this post.

5:30 PM Playdate/Dinner with Faith
Direct from Wonderwild, we went over to Josh and Ashley's house for a Faith/Dayton playdate. Of course, it became their parents' playdate once the kids went to bed. We had a nice meal and had some wine before collecting our slumbering son and heading home. We barely made it to midnight for our east coast family before going to bed. After such a busy day, who can blame us? Plus, we had a toddler to wake up to at 7 AM the next day.
