Great friends make for great days and we had one of those wonderful-memory-making-days in Houston with the Brown's and Weinland's. We started our morning at the Houston Zoo, then had a picnic while watching the play "Big" at the Miller Outdoor Theater, then it was back to the zoo for more animal sight-seeing and fun at the splash pad. Afterwards, we went to a great local restaurant for pizza and gelato, and then to the Houston Children's Museum. It was an action-packed, fun-filled day!
