Minnesota Zoo!

Today we went to the Minnesota Zoo with mommy's friend Becky. It was fun. We got in free because of the Check Out a Museum program at the library (thanks, library!). I was kind of hoping a long day of walking would make me go into labor, but that seems to not be the case. Even though I did not give birth in the monkey house, many other exciting things happened.

Here is Fox riding a giant (fake) turtle!

Fox got to get up close to a grizzly bear:

We had one brief session of tears. We were checking out the dolphins, and we went up to the glass to see them better. The first dolphin we saw came right up to the glass by us. I thought, 'Cool!' Well, the dolphin thought she would be funny and splash us. Huge amounts of water came over the glass and drenched me and Fox. I laughed; he panicked. This is the after pic:

And this is the dolphin:

A nice lady brought us a towel, and we sat and talked about the situation. Fox agrees that it would have been funny if he had known it was coming, but since it was a surprise, he got scared. He recovered well, though, and we left shortly after (and he napped on the way home). Happy ending to a wonderful day!
