Let’s build a zoo

Adam had a Lego Club Meeting this morning, so we decided to make a day of it.

Adam built a snow vehicle and then spent some time playing with the digital box.

That machine was actually pretty cool. When you held certain Lego sets up to it, it would show you a 3d animation of what is inside.

After we left the Lego store we went out for a late breakfast and then set out to visit the zoo.

All of the kids loved the giraffes. We just missed being able to feed them, so next time we go we’re going to try and plan for that.

It was a nice warm day today, perfect for walking around outside. Unfortunately it was a little too hot for a lot of the animals. A lot of them were napping or hiding in the shade.

We were able to get a picture of the rarely spotted wild Adam though.

Luke tried out a new pair of ears and Adam compared his hands and feet to those of a gorilla.

A lot of the exhibits had waterfalls in them and Luke pointed them out each time he saw one. He was very concerned that the monkeys were going to fall down the one in their area. Before we left them he yelled to them, “Be careful monkeys!”

I did take a couple pictures of wild animals other than my children too.

The zoo has a train that you can ride through certain areas. It’s about a 10 minute ride and Luke and Adam both loved it.
