Girls Day at the Minnesota Zoo!

My mom, Linnea and I had a girls day at the Minnesota Zoo!

I lucked out and was able to check out another free pass from the library thinking we would either use it the Sunday before Halloween to check out HallZooween or this weekend just for fun. Well we did ZooBoo at Como so the pass got used for the Zoo. Chris had a terrible sinus infection and bronchitis so he stayed home and we steered clear of him so as to not get resick! My mom was able to come though while my dad continued to help Brian work on their garage.

Linnea thought the penguins were quite cute and posed with the statues. She also waited her turn to sit on this tortoise!

There was a tunnel to crawl through and see the monkeys! I had no idea this was here! YAY for grandma finding it!

Some of the scarecrows from the scarecrow alley event were still up by the farm too so that was interesting to see! I don't know why, but L loves scarecrows! One of the many creative scarecrows is pictured below...there was also a bear ballerina, a flamingo, A Vikings something, a pig, a peacock and many more!

She will always love goats.

And who wouldn't want to sit in this cool egg!

and pose with the chickens!

We ended our trip with a picnic lunch inside. Linnea fell asleep in the car on the way home, which as many of you who read this may remember is extremely unusual! I guess we wore her out! Her nap did not carry on into the house though. But we had some quiet time and sleeping 40 minutes is better than none!

It had been years since mom had been there so she enjoyed herself and Linnea and I just always love the zoo. Most of the animals we went by were out and about too, even in all the wind! Can't wait for our next visit to the Zoo when we have breakfast with Santa!
