Fun at the Zoo

Last weekend Mike went up north so Lara and I made fun plans to keep busy. On Saturday Steph and Logan came over, and after about 10 minutes of doing some carseat switching, we got on the road to the Minnesota Zoo. Lara and Logan kept each other entertained in the car on the way there. I don't know how we're going to do these fun things when baby #2 comes along, unless we get a van, but I don't think that is going to happen until baby #3! The kids got really excited once we got into the zoo. There were lots of monkeys running around for them to look at while we took turns in the bathroom. A lot of the animals were far away, so I didn't get a lot of pictures. I think the kids enjoyed playing on the playground just as much as looking at the animals! Here we are with a big pile of camels behind us.

Here's cute Logan at the playground. He is such a happy little guy!

Lara got crabby at the end because we were looking at fish, and one girl said something about Dori from Finding Nemo, and she didn't get to see her. She wouldn't let it go! Good thing we had plans to go to the aquarium the next day! The ride home wasn't quite as smooth as the ride there, but we made it. Steph and Logan stayed for about an hour so Logan could run around after a day of riding in the car and stroller. I made Lara walk at the zoo, and she did okay, but liked to run ahead, so I had to tell her the lions and tigers were going to come get her so she would come back. The E.T. thing doesn't work anymore, so I'm glad that did!
