Minnesota Zoo

So I am very behind on my postings, not sure what my excuse is for this one being so far behind, because we went to the Zoo in August and it has been over 2 months now, but oh well!

We decided to take a Saturday morning and meet Auntie and Nana to spend some time outside looking at and naming all of the great animals! We tried to snap a family picture on our way out of the Zoo, but it looks like Addie was getting pretty tired (and close to lunch time), and not totally bought-in to sitting down and posing for a cute pic.

So in order to get out to the petting zoo portion of the zoo, everyone gets on a open bus type vehicle, which Addie decided was terrifying and spent the entire ride crying, while the other parents were giving me looks of sympathy and being grateful their children were behaving!

The goats ended up being a little too aggressive for Addie, they will climb right on top of you or knock you down to get that little handful of food. Mike walked out with poop goat prints all over his pants!

We thought it would be cute to have Addie pose on the marble turtle, which started out okay, but soon turned scary as you can see by the look on her face.

I realize it is starting to sound like Addie was either crying or scared during this entire trip, but I actually think she enjoyed it quite a bit. She was able to stay really engaged for about the first hour or so and was really interested in the smaller animals that she could see up close. I am sure next summer she will appreciate it even more!
