Its Above 45!

Yesterday was the first day it was that warm in a while. felt like a heatwave. So, after church we decided to go to the zoo. Aric of course, fell asleep in the car on the way. Stayed asleep while i put him in the stroller and buckled him in, asleep through the parking lot, through Lizzie talking loud while i waited to give them our info to get in (we have a membership). Dude stayed asleep through half the zoo, which admittedly isn't alot being that its a small park zoo.

The zoo had gotten ravaged by the snowstorms this year, about a 3rd of the exhibits were torn up. it was sad. But the wolves were in good spirits and even wagged their tales as you got close, posed for pics and followed you as you walked. lol.

The bears were hiding, dunno if they were hibernating or not, just heard them talking to each other in a diff enclosure. The Caribou were even out and CLOSE to the fence which never happens. The wolverines were out as well, which was a nice change, being that they didn't have any out for some of last summer. Aric woke up just before we saw the caribous and just after the wolverines. so he only saw the caribou and the last spot which of course, i cant' remember what its called, but its got frogs and bats and flying squirrels in it.

It was a little chilly when the wind blew, but it was so nice that it didn't feel that nippy and just a beautiful day. was going to go back today but it was a lazy day, so we just walked to the mailbox instead.
