New Zoo




My kids had the day off on Friday, so we trekked to the Blank Park Zoo. Matthew wasn't too hip with the idea because he "doesn't like zoos". I told him that when he was younger he loved them and that the little kids shouldn't be deprived because he was their big brother. He seemed to agree, after trying to convince me he could stay alone. (Matthew doesn't like being cold unless the word "sled" is involved.)

The trip was nice, but a bit disappointing because many of the animals we love - zebra and giraffe - were off display. We did get to see the big cats (VERY CLOSE and a bit eerie after the California zoo incident) and as a new treat - penguins and sea lions. There was a great Discovery Center that all the kids enjoyed. Anna especially loved the gigantic salt water fish display.
