Eli has been a fan of bears for a long time, but he hasn't ever seen a real one. He tells stories of bears, he sleeps with a bear, he likes to makes sounds like a bear, he even wrestles like a bear! We thought he'd like the experience, so the first exhibit we went to was the grizzly bears! He was mesmerized. We spent more time there than any other part of the zoo, although I'm pretty sure they enjoyed it all.
The polar bear was also really active and fun to watch. The kids loved watching him swim up to the glass right in front of them. He was very playful!
Of course we had to take the iconic fountain photo at the zoo....
Calvin was such a sport. He and Zoey enjoyed the playground area. It was a nice break in between exhibits to let them explore and touch things. It runs as a splash pad during the summer, which is a great idea! We haven't been to the zoo since I was pregnant with Zoey. They've made many improvements. It was a great day trip for the family! We finished with lunch under the shade of a tree at "This is the Place" Heritage park.
