A day at the zoo...






We had a great time taking a Friday off of work and going out to the Minnesota Zoo. They just opened a new attraction called "Russia's Grizzly Coast", but the highlight of the day was definitely the farm. Blake loved petting and feeding the goats (his Grady relatives will appreciate that), sheep and looking at the pigs . Note -- that is not a real pig he is riding on, though his Aunt Julie had already mastered that skill around his age! We took the wagon to and from the farm and were lucky to have the tractor pull us one time and the work horses the next.
Blake was still pretty excited about the animals he saw at the grocery store later that day. There was a man set up with samples of a Kemp's Dairy product and was surrounded by inflatable cows...Blake started shouting "moo" at the man. It was pretty funny...luckily the sample guy thought so too!
