SESAME STREET LIVE:
We had known about this concert for quite some time so it was decided before we left we were going.The concert was held at Reliant Park Stadium and was only 5mins from our hotel.We also went with another family whose daughter has PHACE.When the concert started Jayda started clapping and this was her first time clapping it was such a surprise.
HOUSTON ZOO:
The zoo was another thing on our agenda,as you always see something different.It was quite cold that day and it appeared that many animals felt the same way,but we still had a great day and saw lots of unusual animals that we had never seen back home.
HOUSTON SPACE CENTER:
The space center also encompasses the JOHNSON SPACE CENTER where all missions from the moon landing to current shuttle missions are run from.The complex is massive and they have a full size mock up of the shuttle to train astronauts.There is a lot of history here including full size rockets,space suits and the lecturn that President J.F.Kennedy made his speech to put a man on the moon "not because we can,but because it is hard" Of course we had a blast here.
DOWNTOWN AQUARIUM:
The Downtown Aquarium is located in downtown Houston.It has a variety of fish and animals including four white tigers and has a resturant that has an aquarium inside it that is huge.Jayda absolutely loved the fish and was facinated by it all.There is also a train ride,carousel and ferris wheel so there was heaps to do.
CHILDRENS MUSEUM OF HOUSTON:
Houston has many museums and they have one especially for kids.In some ways its like our Scietech but again this place is big and there is so much for kids of all ages.What we loved the best was that it has a part called KIDTROPOLIS and it is like a miniture city where kids can learn about banking,shopping,voting anything that an adult does it was amazing.
OUTSIDE PLAY:
The weather was quite cold the majority of our stay so when it was fine we tried to visit some parks and there are many in Houston.We saw turtles,squirrel's and fluffy headed ducks we took train rides,visited a japanese garden and saw many statues and water features.

Hi there -- I am a docent at the Houston Zoo and a fellow blogger. I stumbled across your entry about your trip to Houston and I'm so glad you had the zoo on your agenda. I wish the weather had been better but it sounds like you didn't let it stop you from having a great time. Loved seeing the pictures of that and the rest of your trip! Hope you come back and visit us again :-)
