Zoooooooooooooooo!

The day after Christmas was so mild and nice we decided to head to Des Moines for lunch, a little shopping, and to check out Blank Park Zoo. What a fun day! We were right in thinking that Cassidy would love seeing the animals. She (and we) had a blast! Here are some highlights. Those are some big fish and they're hard to count - they keep swimming away!

"Mommy, yook!"

The open Australia exhibit was so much fun. Cassidy even got to have a chase with one of these marsupials! They are so tame and playful.

Even sleepy Trav can't sleep in a zoo - there's too much to see!

Cassidy excitedly telling me how many seals she saw swimming underwater.

"Another one, mommy! Zoom zoom!"FarFar giving her a good view of the penguins.

Seeing the tiger and lions up close was a real thrill.

We are now members of the zoo! We have a family+2 pass, so come visit and we'll take you to our great little zoo!
