Vacation: The Zoo

We had the best vacation this year in Minnesota!! (give it up!) with my mom and dad :) We were happy to just visit and hang out doing nothing but...they were insistent that we go have some real fun so we started at the zoo which was awesome because the one here is AWFUL!


These first pics are of us in the butterfly gardens - it was gorgeous - butterflies everywhere!
definitely Keely's favorite part :)

I love this shot because it's so classic: Asher trying to do something and Keely stopping him :)


We were at the zoo for 6 hours! yep, 6! We were all pretty wasted by the end of the day, but we had one more stop to make at the farm up the road - here we are on the tractor that takes you up there...I was greatful for the break from walking


The farm was cool - the kids fed goats, we watched a cow being milked, which Asher loved most...probably because he was thinking they were giving free milk at the end of the presentation :) He kept asking me questions the entire time the farmer was explaining the process and had a really good handle on it all by the time the guy was done.


We went to a movie on dinosaurs in 3D while we were there too - it actually made me like 3D again :) (fyi: raptors have feathers now)
