Day at the Zoo

We love going to the zoo!

Since the boys were very little, one of the adventures we have always done when there is a day off from school it to visit the zoo. So when the zoo announced that they were going to have $2 Tuesday tickets, I grabbed some so that the boys and I could enjoy the zoo. 

Luckily, the weather was mostly okay for February. We bundled up and were grateful for masks because they kept our faces warm. The wind was blowing pretty hard, but the zoo sits in a bowl, so we felt mostly protected. Some of the animals weren't out like the giraffes and elephants because of the chilly wind, though.

One of the lionesses was having dinner. 

The baby gorilla was so cute!

Seth posed by every statue.

The highlight of the day was the polar bear. He was swimming back and forth right next to the window, and we watched him for a long time. The grizzly bears were also out running around, so the bears put on quite a show. 

We also enjoyed watching the baby gorilla and a newborn monkey in the reptile house. He was just a few days old and was so tiny. 

We are such big animal lovers that a visit to the zoo is always a blast! We had a lot of fun and it was a great way to spend our day off from school.

The polar bear kept swimming right up to the window. It was awesome!

Seth loves polar bears!

The boys really like the red pandas.

The leopard was pacing around.

Look at that tiny monkey just barely holding on!

Yes, the boys still love riding the carousel!
