The Zoo

So in the beginning of June we went to the zoo on one of my husband's saturdays off!  It was a lot of fun! It was rather warm that day, and a few of us got a little sun burnt, but the kids all had a great time.  I missed seeing the zoo as the last time we went was fall of 2019 for a homeschool thing when our 6th was a baby.  


My husband loves the wolves.  They were a ways from us and difficult to spot, but we could see them!



This guy was my favorite.  When we arrived, he was nowhere to be seen, but we passed by later in the day when the clouds were rolling in (it rained just as we left the zoo) and he was so happy to see us that he came to the front of the cage and was purring.  So cute!  As long as he's behind the cage, anyway.  Not sure I'd want to meet him without that protection, haha.



I remember these when I was a kid.  They were always fun to climb into.  


An axolotl.  Why do I know anything about these guys?  Animal crossing.  Yup.



The kids thought this guy was fake at first, because he was moving so slowly.


They have a 'dinosaur' area, and Bram decided to try to mimic this guy.



I love the seals!  They were so cute!  They love to swim back and forth over and over.  




The polar bears were out and posing for their pictures.

These guys are so cute.  I love owls!

I remember these as a kid, too.  Some things are just nostalgic.  



It was a lovely trip out as a family.  Hoping for many more this summer!
