Minnesota Zoo

Mikko's first encounter with the otters. Apparently they are super scary.

Mikko crying while David is laughing at the otters playing with a basketball.

Grizzly Bears

Zoo pictures are never quite as good as you hope. They are mostly of the back of the kids' heads.

Mikko was actually looking at an animal and not scared.

As we walk up to this exhibit of exotic camels, David says "Look at the ducks, Mom" and completely could care less about the camels. Moving on then.....

There was a scarecrow display. David had his picture in front of the MN Wild one so we could show Daddy. He didn't want to get too close though.

Onto the Tigers. Apparently after you get a ginormous sucker, Tigers aren't very interesting.

So, Mikks was scared of the cute otters playing with basketballs, but this massive Tiger got no response.

I wonder if he wants some of Mikko's goldfish

After church and a nap we headed to the Minnesota Zoo. It was awesome.
Hardly anyone was there...pretty sure it was because the Vikings were playing. Damon had to work so I thought another outing was in order. Again, the boys were great! It was fun with David this time at the zoo, he actually really cared about seeing the animals (mostly anyway), and Mikko was content sitting in the stroller the whole time. We got a good walk in and enjoyed a sunny September afternoon.
