Pictures: A Trip to the Minnesota Zoo

Brendan and Tenille treated Marissa and I to a trip to the Minnesota Zoo yesterday. It is quite a bit larger than the Como Zoo - with more animals too. It is divided into "Trails" - Tropical Trail, Minnesota Trail, Discovery Bay, Northern Trail. Here is a link to its website for more information: http://www.mnzoo.com/animals/map.asp

We were there for about four hours - Marissa enjoyed it very much, although she again preferred to push her stroller rather than ride in it.

Here are some pictures of our trip:

(I found it to difficult to hold the camera steady enought to take a picture of the seahorse, so I had to ask Brendan to take the picture for me!)

Shhh! Tiger sleeping...

These next few pictures are of two tigers play-fighting - it was really neat to watch! They were the last animals we saw to, so it was a nice ending.
