Breakfast at the Zoo

So my friend Katie won a contest through the Minnesota Zoo. She got to turn on the dinosaurs in the new Dino exhibit and have breakfast with her favorite. I got to go along. We ate breakfast under the most bird like dino before wondering around taking ridiculous photos and enjoying the rest of the zoo. It was a great way to spend part of my weekend :)

Minnesota Zoo

On Sunday, I went down to the cities and went to the Minnesota Zoo with Omi and Renee. The zoo had a really nice mixture of indoor and outdoor exhibits. My two favorite exhibits were Discovery Bay and the Minnesota Trail. Discovery Bay was home to the sharks, dolphins, and other fun aquatic critters including a touch pool.

The Minnesota Trail was filled with animals found in Minnesota. Many of the animals were out and about in the wintery weather which also made the visit very enjoyable.

The trip was really great and was rounded out with a quick run to Barnes and Noble and a Starbucks drink. At the end of the day, I was a happy camper!
