MN ZOO

Me, mom, Brody, Mary Ellen, Marla, Lisa, Claire, Everett, Nate and Heidi all went to the Minnesota Zoo today. It really was a great day to be there. We went early enough where there was no rain, and the weather forecast kept lots of people away so it wasn't very busy. Brody has been on an animal kick lately so we knew he would enjoy himself. Here are a few pictures of his favorite things from the zoo.

Brody loved seeing the giraffes.

They were so close

to him and for a small fee

the kids got to feed them!

Their tongues were so long

when Brody was done his

entire arm was covered with

giraffe slobber!

He also really liked the farm. He got to see sheep, cows, horses, pigs, chickens and goats. Plus a tractor pulled our wagon to the farm. He kept looking for Grandpa, he thought Grandpa would be driving the tractor. The kids actually got to go in the goat pen and just run around with the goats. Brody could have stayed there all day.

We brought the wagon for the boys to ride in, but Brody preferred being out where he could see things- and riding on Uncle Nate's shoulders gave him a great view! It was a super fun day at the zoo, and I am sure we will go back again this summer.
