We spent the morning at Como Zoo today with Becca, Conan and Grammy. Thanks to our warm winter it was a really awesome visit to the zoo and we had some amazing interactions with the animals! Our first stop was the monkey house where Max made a new best friend.




Grammy got up close to the big gorilla, two minutes prior to this shot he was throwing his hay at the window and giving everyone the glare but once he sat down Grammy went up to say hello.


We made our way over to the Polar Bears and not only did we get to watch this big guy finally jump into the water after a few moments of prepping (he was rocking back and forth on the edge of the water just building up the anticipation for his crowd) but then he continued to swim over to where the kids were and would lift himself up before doing a back flop into the water. It was so cool!


We also got up close and personal with some Koi fish.



See what I mean about some awesome animal interactions? That doesn't happen every day! Here are some more favorite photos from the zoo while visiting other animals and places.

Rory demonstrated her seal bark for us while watching Sparky the Sea Lion.


Conan was being his bashful, handsome self.


I got our mandatory giraffe picture. Someday I'll have to do something with all of the photos I have of them with the giraffes.


Rory was very intently popping bubbles as they trickled over from one of the many fountains.


Conan watching and learning how to be naughty and put your hands in the fountains.


Max, found a puddle. I had to get an action sequence.


Beautifully pregnant Becca escorting Conan and Rory.


Oh my gosh, once again an extremely photo-heavy blog! Needless to say, we had a great time.
