2 factors played into my decision to go: Warm weather & warm weather.
Fortunately for us there was also a zoo. Saturday morning after a quick hour detour to Super Target, we found the zoo.
When we arrived, the monkeys' were going crazy, swinging around and making all sorts of loud noises. The boys loved it... Jacks was tempted to join them.
Yes, I did let Bennett stick his head through the railing at the otter exhibit. Fortunate for us he didn't fall in.
We got to the giraffes at just the right time, and were able to feed them.
This picture was just before Bennett chickened out and dropped the biscuit. He was trying to be brave about it. Maybe next time.
Jacks enjoyed dropping the biscuit right as the giraffe was about to take it, therefore making the giraffe try to snap it up like a dog...I don't think he appreciated it. 
Yes, I fed the giraffe also. My hand came back slimy with giraffe slobber, but at least I can say I did it. Right?
They also had rhinos at the zoo. However, for some reason the boys didn't care one bit about them, so we moved on quickly.
Bennett decided he should be in charge of the map, so he led us to...
The polar bears. There were 2. This one wouldn't jump into the frigid water...can't say I blame him.
Towards the end we had 3 pouting kids...none of which would look at the camera and smile...
Until I mentioned lunch and a souvenir. That caught someone's attention.

Sooo, Sooo jealous of the warm weather! And impressed that you let a giraffe slime your hand (yuck!)! And you know where Bennett got that from, don't you? We all do the same thing when someone mentions food! ;)
