Yesterday we went to the Minnesota Zoo.
We went with Mark's family and Scott's family (Sarah's sister, Jenny)
Here's the kids...
Really enjoyed watching the monkeys. This one is pregnant and short on patience. When any monkey walked by here she'd start swatting and chase them away!
She looked hot and miserable. Poor thing.
Here's Maggie standing up like she does....oh, no, wait, that's a prairie dog.
The camels were an added summer attraction. Mark was bummed because the last time he came, they had giraffes you could feed. The camels replaced the giraffes this summer. He wanted his kids to feed the giraffes.
Sarah was calling out her order to the Carribou. They weren't amused.
More monkeys climbing on a caterpillar...
The tigers were able to come right up to the glass. They were crazy close! So beautiful.
I'm not sure what kind of monkeys these are but in the same enclosure were these pigs in the back showering in the waterfall.
This bird was playing hide and seek. I wasn't fast enough to get a picture when he looked up at me.
Some type of kangaroo monkey.
The beloved sloth. What we all hope Heaven is like, slow, carefree, abundance of food and shade. And your waistline doesn't matter.
Big, fat, stuffed, boa.
Porcupine
Puma AKA Mountain Lion, Cougar, Panther, Painter, Catamount
The majestic Bald Eagle
And even at the end of the day, the kids have energy.
