A Zoorific Father's Day

For Father's Day, we celebrated with a trip to the MN Zoo with my sister Jill, her husband Jason, and their adorable daughter Lily! The weather, although sprinkly, was actually perfect because it didn't get too hot and the rain held off until after we'd see all the outdoor things. We had a great time! The girls loved one animal in particular. Watch this video to find out which animal they're giggling at.

Aren't prairie dogs cute?

We also got to see the new Africa exhibit, which included feeding a giraffe! Ryan showed Abby how it was done. Both girls weren't sure they quite liked having a giraffe so close, but he grew on them quickly.
We also checked out the Splash Pad the zoo has going now. Lily, who is used to the water park by her house, got right into it, running through the water and sticking her face in the spouts. (my sister also took a cute video of Lily playing in the water. Check her blog for the post - coming soon!)
Claire and Abby weren't so sure what to think of the water and generally cried anytime we took them near it. They did okay on this wagon ride through the water that Ryan took them on (aren't daddies great?), but still weren't convinced. Guess we'll have to visit Cousin Lily and play in their water park more often to get the hang of it!

Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there!
