Zoo Time

After a Saturday of soccer and home life, we decided to take more advantage of this beautiful weather this weekend and take the kids to the zoo before our annual pass expired. We knew the new Lego exhibit had just opened up there as well, so it seemed like perfect timing. We went early to beat the bigger crowd and the heat and it ended up being perfect.
Many of the animals were very active and right out next to the glass. They especially loved the seals and the polar bear who was being very funny and watching a zoo keeper feed the giraffes some bread pieces. Here's some fun shots we got while the kids looked at them.

 

 

 

Of course we had to do the  regular shots by statues and found two eagles in the nest.

 

And don't forget the added bonus, the Lego's around the zoo. The Polar bear was amazing.

 These monkeys had a very good time indeed.

 

We rode the carousel, which Faith was petrified of for the first time. Then we went to the Oasis cafe and ordered a family size pizza to share and enjoyed it under a pavilion while watching some geese and goslings wonder around the tables.

We ended the trip by letting the kids play at the block party tent with giant Lego's and in the world fountain. Unfortunately the playground was closed off for construction of what looks to be a new, cool exhibit in the future.

 

It was a very fun Sunday morning and the kids were all very well behaved. I couldn't have asked for better. Thanks family for the good day.
