Summer to dos: Zoo #2

We also spend a good chunk of our summer free time at the Minnesota zoo.

We generally go with a crew - Evie is by far the tiniest, yet one of loudest.


Oooh, scary children.

They have a great sprinkler area - we brought them 2 weeks ago in their bathing suits and the kids had a blast.
We went with Grandma Barringer, Grandpa Walton and Mindy + kids to the new jungle playland last week. Very cool. Do check it out.

Summer to dos: Zoo #1

We're always on the lookout for fun summer things to do around here. Some of our favorite are the zoos. We go there A TON.

Zoo #1 - the (free) Como Zoo in St. Paul.

My kids love the "wirwaffes." The other favorite attractions are the huge gorillas - one of whom gave us a show one day of beating on his chest, Tarzan style.


They have a great exhibit over the summer - the butterfly garden. Evie was enthralled.

She now demands her "wurfwy" jammies every night, stinky or not.

She was especially happy because cousin Ryan agreed to hold her hand everywhere.

Sticky

I dare you to find something cuter and more summer-y than naked children eating popsicles on a hot, sticky day.

Summer, please stay.
