Ryan and Tyler's trip to the zoo

Yesterday we decided to take the boys to the Minnesota Zoo. We had 2 free passes that we got and it helped us with the cost for getting in. It was a nice drive there since Tyler slept the whole way down there. Ryan was asleep and watching the scenery. When we got there we slapped on some sunscreen on the boys and on daddy's head. Don't want any sunburns. We walked around the whole entire zoo. Ryan was just looking around, everytime we would tell Ryan to look at an animal he would just look at us. So we just decided that he can look for himself. We first looked at discovery bay and watched the dolphin swim around. Tyler kept saying fishy fishy. He really liked it when the dolphin swam right in front of where we were. We went and looked at the rest of the animals, but some of them were taking their naps. We went to the Wells Fargo farm house and Tyler petted a kid(baby goat). At first he wasn't so sure about touching it til mommy petted the little one too. We then went and had lunch, the boys were very hungry. Ryan had a stare down with a kid that was sitting next to him. The kid had down syndrome and they both kept looking at each other, I thought it was cute. We then went thru the Northern trails and saw some interesting animals. They have an aquarium that you can see from underneath and that was cool. Tyler kept saying fishy fishy again. Then we went thru the Medtronic Minnesota Trails. It was cool to see some animals from Minnesota that you don't see all the time. Daddy got a good picture of the bald eagle. He also got video of some coyotes doing some naughty stuff, if you get my hint. We then headed home. It was a long day for the boys, but I was glad that the boys got to see some new stuff. On our way home we stopped at target in plymouth to meet a guy that was giving us a gas grill for free. When we were about to leave, 4 deer jumped in front of his truck. Tyler just looked and wondered what they were.
Next trip we will possibly take is to the como zoo. I would like the boys to see other animals that they didn't see at the Minnesota Zoo.
