Minnesota Zoo

Friday Alex didn't have daycare, so I took the day off and took him to the zoo. I first took him to the Dolphin's which is my favorite and Evan's favorite too. We stood in front of the big glass window and we couldn't see anything. The baby Dolphin swam out of the other pool and into the big tank and Alex started screaming and he was afraid of the dolphin and pretty much anything that was swimming in Discovery Bay. We had to leave the area, because he wouldn't calm down.

I'm ready to go see some other animals Mommy!

He had a blast playing in the Woodland Adventure Park! I went up there with him a couple times and he just kept doing the same route, so I let him go up by himself. He'd climb up the stairs go all the way to the other end around the house and back across the walkway and down the slide and back up the stairs and across the walkway. Repeat and Repeat and Repeat = one tired boy!

Alex the turtle!

We came across the bears at 10:00 and they were doing some training. They brought Sadie over to give her some treats and check her out.
Alex was not afraid of this big bear standing up. She was totally calm and would take small treats for doing what she was told.
Kenai and Haines hang out and are thrown small treats while they do training with Sadie. They said the bears are 5 years old and are named from the region they came from in Alaska. They were abandoned by their mother and would not have survived in the wild. Alex would just say "Look at the big bears Mommy"!
On the way out to the family farm we saw the Tractor. They had one Alex could sit on, but he didn't want to.
We saw Goats and Cows and Sheep and Chickens. The goats got a little rough with each and scared Alex. We left about 12:30 and he passed out on the way home and slept for a couple hours after we got home.
