Zoo

The Monday folowing Easter proved to be nice weather as well so we hit the Minnesota Zoo,

 courtesy of Gramma. It is such a beautiful zoo, we are lucky to have it so close.

We were able to enter the tiger lair and get an up close look at the amur tiger right after we were lucky enough to hear him (her?) vocalize.

The playground is tempting and distracting. Maren would have played here all day.

We were able to tear her away for the farm babies exhibit. We even made the milking demonstration. She sat through the whole 10 minute demo. I was impressed.

 The she wanted to pet the cows

 and feed the goats and sheep.

 It was quite the time.

 On to the grizzly bears.

 My grizzly bear:

Lilly wants everything Maren has (or that I have). Boy does she make it kown. She fusses and cries when she doesn't get what she wants. Argh. It's tough. She was pretty okay with just getting a cup.

It's a big zoo. We were all tired after that trip. Schwoo!
