The Zoo!


On Saturday, April 11th, we took Miss Lily on her very first trip to the Minnesota Zoo. Joy's family went with us. We all had a great time! Lily loved seeing all the animals, but her favorite part was the "Family Farm" at the zoo where she got to feed the goats and see the farm animals and little farm babies up close.

I think we will be making several more trips to the zoo. It's a wonderful place for a fun family day out and Lily loves animals. We didn't even get to see everything so we're excited to go back. The Africa exhibit with giraffes, zebras, gazelles and other animals opens Memorial Weekend, so I'm sure we'll be headed back to see that! Plus the butterfly garden opens in June and I know Lily will love walking through the flowers with all the butterflies. Lots of opportunities for pictures, too! So here are some pictures of Lily's first trip to the zoo...



And Lily's favorite part - feeding the goats at the Family Farm. She liked the chickens and baby chicks, too. She tried to feed the baby chicks her yogurt treats! She just loves the little animals and likes feeding them (she even hand-feeds our dogs at home). Maybe we need to get a goat - ha!!


What a busy day! Lily was exhausted (as were all the adults) and fell asleep as soon as we left the farm, before we even got back to the car.
