There are 2 zoos in the Cities – one that is free, and one that is decidedly not. We have been to the free one lots of times, and the non-free one once (with free passes. ha.) Some generous donors paid for all the 3rd graders in Rochester to go to the expensive zoo, have lunch there, and ride the monorail. Zach was SO excited. As luck would have it the Cities had quite a bit of snow that day, but off they went anyways, and he LOVED it. He was one of the only kids to take a camera (a small spare one that we set to a low setting so he could take more than 8 pictures on the tiny memory card) and he came home with 65 of them. Here are a few for memory's sake:
jumping wolf (his favorite picture)
the buffalo
coral reef
the komodo dragon (don't see those every day!)
When he got home he couldn't stop smiling telling me about it, and I couldn't stop smiling listening to him. Good way to spend the extra day we get this year!
