Zoo

On August 8, we took the day off work and took the kids to the Minnesota Zoo.  The was no way I was going to fight the mounds of people on a weekend so I gladly took a vacation day.  This was the first time I had been to the MN Zoo since I was in grade school so it was like a whole new experience for me too!

Polar bear 

This bear came right up to the window and stood up in front of us - pretty neat! 

Cheetah 

 Giraffe 

Even Will and Henry had fun! 

The monkeys were the hit of the day!  You can't see it in the picture, but there was teeny, tiny baby in between these two monkeys.  There were other babies playing around on the branches as well - they were so fun to watch!

The crocodiles!
