Today's Adventure took us to the Minnesota Zoo. It is located in Apple Valley, about an hour's drive from our home.
It was a beautiful day. The exhibits are quite spread out but the walking trails in between were gloriously painted with the vibrant colors of Fall.
Here are the kids and I near the Tiger's domain. Jonah especially enjoyed climbing on the sculpture.
Next, it was off to the Camels. What amazing creatures. I think it was my favorite.... God must have been in a silly mood when he thought those up.
The Prairie Dogs where especially entertaining and I think they enjoyed us as much as we enjoyed them.
The Meerkats had already moved to their winter home but the habitat is still there and was a great place to stop and play.
There is a series of tunnels and caves to climb though that lets the kids see some of the underground habitats and pretend to be Meerkats themselves.
We then went to Discovery Bay. It is an aquarium with several beautiful displays. The kids favorite tank was the interactive one. They actually got to reach in and pet Leopard Sharks and Sting Rays.
The Monorail took us on a tour of the whole Zoo with a narrator to educate us on the different exhibits. It was a beautiful, relaxing and informative ride.
Thank you God for a lovely day to enjoy your Creations.
