Free Zoo Day

On the last Wednesday of the month during the winter months our local zoo does a free zoo day. Since we didn't get a chance to go this summer we decided to go check it out the last Wednesday in February. We checked Michael out of school (it was a free attendance week at the end of the 2nd trimester so he could miss PLUS he earned his 2nd award for attendance, grades and service so thought this would be a good "treat").

We got there right when the zoo opened at 9 and of course it was CRAZY but luckily we were able to find a spot in the main lot. Michael was bummed they didn't have the Lego exhibit they had over the summer. It was a lot of fun albeit a little crowded.

Jennie was extremely infatuated with the desert foxes. She stood there for a good 10 minutes talking to them, peeking in the glass and dancing when Michael sang the "What does the Fox say?" song.

I'll admit it was a little nice to go to the zoo when it wasn't so hot.
