A Day At the Como Zoo-

July 12, 2007

Here we are again! We 3 girls took at trip to the Como Zoo today. It was a perfect day to be outside, and we had a lot of fun!
Natalie still loves fish and she wanted to stay put at every little (or big) aquarium that we came upon. There were fish that seemed as big as her, and she thought it was a lot of fun to stand and stare at them. She was completely mesmerized by them as they swam around. Josie was easily bored with the fish and wanted to keep moving along. They have a couple of really nice fish tanks there with tropical fish also.
We wandered around outside and came upon the sea lion tank and Josie thought it was lots of fun to try to find them swimming under water. She would scream "WOW!" When they would pop their heads up above the water. The flamingos were also a big hit, as they were napping while standing up on one leg.
Unfortunately, Josie spied the rides from about 3 miles away and said "ARE THOSE RIDES????" Oh boy does she love rides. So I tried to keep her content wandering through other animal areas, but she just kept asking about the rides!
We saw a polar bear just like the same as the polar bear in Natalie's favorite book, so we hung out with him for awhile too.
The girls talked my into ice cream, and well, almost all of it ended up in the garbage, I will know better next time, right?
We finally hit the rides! The girls went on all the rides together and while you cannot see it from the photos, they did have a really fun time. Josie was laughing and squealing, while Natalie was more subdued and halfway worried. Either way they seemed to have a fun time there.
All in all we had a fun time wandering around. We had a picnic lunch and headed home. I got all turned around and we did a few U-Turns, but we made home.
The girls are going in for haircuts tonight, check back for more photos!!
