Fun-Filled FREE Day at the Zoo

After our low-key day yesterday of

• hanging out at home
• spending a bit of time with a BSF friend and her 6 month old daughter who brought over some delicious wild rice soup, mmmm!
• running a quick errand at Target
• and spending time with my Uncle, pregnant Aunt, and 6 year old cousin over a hot dish that my uncle made for dinner... which was also really delicious

we decided to do something out of the house during the BEAUTIFUL day today!

My sister, Ana, came over around noon and we had some lunch (leftovers from the night before) and then we all hopped into the minivan and headed to the zoo! Here is a photo story of what Peyton was feeling during our time at the Como Zoo...

Starting off in the monkey building is a bit unreal...

Vandis felt that way too. 

You just stare with wonder and amazement as they swing from their ropes and trees...

And get super excited when they come near you!

Looking at big sleeping gorilla is probably the best thing ever...

It's for sure better than having to take a picture in front of the plastic giraffe.

You wonder how you can get out past the glass to go pet the big kitty...

And also why your crazy blogger mom has to be so embarrassing all the time taking picture after picture.

You decide that maybe you will just go off by yourself for a while and get away from your mommarazzi. 

And then you find this really cool turtle and decide "Alright mom... I guess one more picture won't hurt"...

Good thing too... 'cuz your not getting rid of your crazy, blogging, proud mommarazzi mamma anytime soon little lady :)
