Como Zoo

Mike took yesterday off which will probably be his last day off that he takes for months. To take advantage of his time, we all went to Como Zoo for the afternoon. The weather was cold and windy but we still got to see most of the animals because they were indoors. Como Zoo is the smaller zoo in MN but it is also the free zoo in MN which is why we chose Como instead of the MN Zoo. We had a great time! Bennett's favorites were the seal's, monkey's and fish. We also found out that he wants to be very independent and go on his own. He didn't want to be in the stroller or have us carry him - he just wanted to walk everywhere on his own. But, doing this, he would walk away and didn't care about the animals or staying by us or even acknowledging us when we called his name, he just wanted to go. I need a leash!

We were at the zoo for almost 3 hours and then came home and we all napped before going out to Ruby Tuesday's for supper and finish out our family day. I wish we had more time to do things like this but it really made us appreciate the day together even more.
