Zoo Day

On Sunday, we decided to take Grey to the zoo.....the Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington.  It was really really nice.  Nate thought we would only see like "3" animals, but it was actually PERFECT for Grey.  He was up really early on Sunday morning so this was him on the way to the zoo.....lol!

When we got there there were only maybe 4 cars in the lot and that was awesome because it wasn't crowded at all and it was really HOT



Grey had just woken up and he was ready to go....he still has those sleepy eyes....



Nate kept flaring his nostrils and I told him to stop -hah!  He said he needed air up there...lol!

These were the river otters


Grey was performing a bit.

The sea lion was Grey's favorite and it was really performing for us....He kept wanting to go back to see it

Then it was into the rainforest exhibit



He was looking at all the birds.

We were able to get pretty close to the birds so that was pretty cool



This was the best I could do with the tiger.....It was really hot and they were all just hiding out and laying around

These were the reindeers behind Grey there....see?



Did I mention it was HOT?  Yeah so after we had had enough at the zoo we walked right over to the splash pad in the park.  It was such a nice park!  Did I mention how perfect it was for Grey!

As soon as we got there he darted right in there....

Then mommy joined in on the fun.

Peace

And of course our adventure would not have been complete without the slide and swings.

Then it was time for lunch.......Auntie Mims and her boy Kevin had been partying at ISU the night before so we headed into college town to pick them up and go to lunch.

And guess where we went ISU people?  The Pub II!  We used to go there once in a while back in the day.   Remember girls?

It was a nice family day!  I would recommend Miller Park too!
