Detroit Zoo

This Saturday we went to the Detroit Zoo with Mike, Marnie, and Kendal. The weather was absolutely beautiful again this weekend so it was just the perfect day to be outside enjoying the weather with the kids visiting the animals. The girls really seemed to enjoy themselves...they both missed their naps but were troopers the entire time and we were there for 5 hours. We weren't all that impressed with the zoo itself as it was really hard to see the animals, but we still got quite a show from a chimp and two grizzlies...just not the kind of show we were looking for.

Here are the girls ready to go.

We actually didn't set them up for this shoot. Mike, Marnie, Jason, and I were talking in the driveway and all of a sudden we noticed the girls were sitting next to each other on the step. Yes, they were actually getting along within a foot of each other. Actually, they got along really well all day. They even walked together at the zoo...

...holding hands!!!

...and sat by each other on the tiger!!!

...and looked at the swimming turtles together!!!

....and even the alligators!!!

and sat by the snake and eggs without hitting one another!!!

Maddy really enjoying seeing all the animals, but her favorite display was definitely the prairie dogs. She just loved them!

Enjoying the prairie dogs with dad!

A close second would be the reptile display...she wouldn't get her joy of reptiles from me...I was terrified!

Who's winning this stare down?

Maddy enjoyed her first taste of cotton candy too!


All in all, it was a great day! Next year we are going to try out the Toledo zoo instead.
