A couple of years ago, during one of our school breaks, we decided to venture north and visit the small town of Lufkin. Why Lufkin? I don't remember what the thought process was, but I thought it would be a different kind of scene and I really didn't want to drive into downtown Houston. I wanted new experiences, you know? Surprisingly, the kids still talk about this zoo and reminisce about how cool it was. Always making the comment that we should go again. A win for Mom.
They had a vast assortment of animals, but I was incredibly surprised that they have a hippo!
They also had free-range peacocks. It was neat!
The also had free-range peacocks and they were everywhere!
You've just seen all of the wacky faces of the Witty children, consider yourself so lucky.
The zoo also has a train so you know we had to experience that. It was a sweet little ride operated by some very experienced conductors. It went around in a loop and it was pretty inexpesive. Very nice way to end our zoo experience.
After our train ride, it was time to go home. But not before stopping to see what the city of Lufkin has to offer. We found a pretty amazing mural that I absolutely love, and some lettering to pose with.
We also hit up the Museum of East Texas, or MET. It was very contemporary and fascinating. They had an opportunity to create some artwork, so obviously I had to take their picture.
