Como Zoo

On Friday morning most of the guys went golfing and the rest of us headed to Como Zoo for a few hours. It is a great zoo- especially for the little ones because it is not too big. We were able to see everything in about 2 hours.

The monkeys were in a great mood that morning- very active and playful.

This gorilla was HUGE- he was mooning us thru the glass for a while before he sat down and ignored us altogether.

The seal and Brady were having a great time playing and looking at each other.

Who wants to ride in a stroller when Grammy will hold you?

The sea lions were playing and splashing and putting on a great show for the kiddos. Brady loved watching them in the water.

Here is the fam in the zebra house.

There were two huge lions enjoying a lazy morning.


Brady loved watching his second cousin Ingrid. He gets a kick out of the big kids!

The leopard was having breakfast when we stopped by...

Ingrid's favorite animal was the Dall Sheep.

We got to watch the gorillas eat a snack on our way out of the zoo.

Brady rode the tortoise statue too! Apparently there used to be huge live tortoises that roamed the zoo when Daddy was a kid.
Here are Ingrid and Elsa in the Zoo Boo sign! Someone has a picture of Brady and I in the sign so I will post it when I find it.

Brady was mesmerized by the "Coin Vortex" he loved watching the penny go round and round. He must have made himself dizzy watching it and following it with his head!

All that cold fresh air can really wipe a guy out!
