Abby & I took a trip to the MN Zoo this morning. We had a blast!
Here we are riding the monorail...which according to Abby says, "Choo choo."
P.S. Also according to Abby buffalo say, "Moo."
We spent a fair portion of time in Discovery Bay today. Abby really liked the great white shark...and she LOVED the dolphins. The zoo actually just acquired two new dolphins and they are still getting them used to their new environment and training them to eventually be a part of the dolphin shows. The dolphins were all actually spending most of their time out-of-sight today in the back tank...so it would often be several minutes between sightings. Abby didn't seem to mind at all. She would sit & wait & wait & wait. And then when a dolphin did swim into view she would let out such a surprised exclamation of delight and point and laugh and smile...and then he would disappear again....and she would start over. Sitting. And waiting.
We also spent some time splashing in the tide pool. Each time the giant WHOOOOOSH of water would go off, Abby laughed and clapped.
We spent some time in the Kid's Den.
Abby played Zoo Vet with a tiger.
She checked his temperature.
She looked in his eyes.
She listened to his heart beat.
And then gave him some medicine.Her diagnosis was spring fever...I think we all have a slight case.
Abby also stopped be the Lego table to contribute her architectural stylings.
On the Tropics Trail.
