Houston Vacation: Baseball Players and Other Animals (10/20/10)

We went to Michael’s baseball game on Wednesday evening. It was held in a huge park with a bunch of baseball diamonds, a big playground, and a large walking trail that goes past a mini-zoo. Michael had to be there early to practice so we took Lily on the walking trail to see all of the animals.
One of the scary animals that may charge the fence. Oh wait, that’s Paul:

This turkey kept gobbling at Lily. She thought it was hysterical:

Lily loved petting this “hee-haw”:

And liked “baaa-ing” at these goats:

After looking at all of the animals, we took Lily to the playground. She loves swinging:

She really wanted to play on the slide but she was too sweaty and sticky to go down:

I couldn’t take a word Mike was saying seriously that night due to his ‘Heat Miser’ hairdo:

Lily got fussy at the game but again, I thought it was because it was late when factoring in the time change. She’d also been flush for the past two days but I thought that it was due to the heat. She went to sleep with ease when we got home from the game but woke up crying inconsolably soon afterward. She seemed really hot despite the air conditioning so I took her temperature and it was 100. I gave her Motrin and she finally fell asleep on the bed with me. I really really really hope she isn’t getting sick on vacation. Ugh!
