A Trip to the Minnesota Zoo

Friday Evan's daycare was closed, so we ran some errands and then went to the zoo. We had to check out the dolphins of course and see the show! Semo says HELLO! Did you know Semo is the oldest living male in captivity? He is 47 years old! You wouldn't know it watching him zip around the pool showing off for the crowd and playing games.
Dolphins where are you?
Allie and Taijah often swim together in the pool. Taijah is just over a year old and is still quite a big smaller than her Mom and Dad.
Lazy bears chilling out in the sand!
This bear was pretty active. We were hoping she would go in the pond and go for a swim but she didn't.
These camels had the right idea. Evan wanted to come back to see the camels hoping they had moved, but they were still sitting in the sludgy pond. I wonder what would happen if they put a pond like this in the desert? It looks funny to see desert animals in the water.
They recently opened a penguin exhibit at the zoo, so Evan and I really wanted to see it. I was a little disappointed, because it was smaller than I thought it would be. They moved the entrance to the zoo and put the penguin exhibit where the old entrance was. Some of them were pretty active following kids in front of the glass. Most of my pictures turned out blurry.
