March 2013: Houston Vacation (Day 3)

Our third day of our trip took us to Alvin Texas to a Bayou Wildlife Preserve. Kathryn was able to get us a group rate that included a safari ride, food for the animals, a petting zoo and a ride on a horse. The kids loved it!

But you know what they say, "It's all fun and games until someone gets gored!" Which is what almost what happens to Roger when he was feeding an African bull that was in the thick of mating season. You know the other saying, "You mess with the bull you get the horn!" The bull shredded Roger's bucket and came within inches of slicing his neck. He was very lucky. Despite that episode the kids loved their day trip which we finished with a picnic lunch. So much fun.

Then that night we adults went out for real tex mex. Delicious!
