Trip to the Zoo

We're trying to squeeze every last minute of summer into our final weeks. This weekend we hit the fair and the zoo and have a birthday party for a friend tonight. The zoo today was a ton of fun. We have a great zoo up in the Twin Cities. We can never get everything done so each visit is a little different than the last. Today we got to spend some time in the new play area by the grizzly bears. Em and Lily loved the splash park and playground as did our several of our friends. Charlie humored us, but as only an almost 14 year old can.

The animals are always fun to see and Lily was estatic to see the butterflies in the butterfly garden and the dolphins. The girls all loved the grizzlies and tigers as well as the aquarium. Em was especially happy to have been able to touch 2 sharks in the touch pool. I don't remember what kind of sharks, except they are non aggressive :) It was a great day and a ton of fun.
