The Zoo

August 14th we decided to go to the zoo with the kids. It was kinda raining and cloudy the whole time, but it was still alot of fun. We went to the Bismarck zoo. We usually take turns going to the Minot zoo and the Bismarck zoo, since we are pretty much right in the middle. The kids had a blast and I am glad!

The first thing we did was feed the goats. As soon as you turn the handle the goats all come running. They LOVE to eat the corn that they have there. Alyssah was a little nervous at first, but she didn't mind once she did it!

Prairie Dogs, the kids loved looking at them through the peek holes.

My amazing kids

This owl was following Jake as he was running back and forth. I think the owl thought he would make a good lunch!!

The grey wolves. They look so skinny, but I suppose because of summer.

The tiger exhibit. This was really cool! There were 3 different cats in there. A white bangel tiger, a normal looking tiger and a Tabby Tiger. I had never heard of a Tabby Tiger before, it is really pretty! This cat was on top of an obseratory window. It looked really cool to see it from the bottom!

Very pretty!

They are so big! This one walked right by the window.

This is the tabby tiger. Very pretty!

Next of course were the bears. They were both very sleepy!

These birds were talking to us! We would say hello and they would too! It was awesome!

The otters were really active this day

Then we took a train around the outside of the park. There are alot of animals to see, all woodland kinds. Like moose, elk, buffalo, horses, and even some texas long horns. Of course we had to have a snack on the train! So cotton candy it was!

Alyssah was excited!

And she loved it!

So did Jake!

Waiting to go!

My handsome boys
