We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo

Today we ventured to the zoo. Mark had a day off from work and I had heard about this zoo over in Wahpeton, ND from one of Connor's teachers at school. After about a 50 minute drive straight west, we arrived at the zoo. It was a perfect weather day and it turned out to be a very good zoo...considering it was a small zoo. We saw buffalo, camels, grizzly bears, tigers, kangaroos, bald eagles, elk, zebras, monkeys, and others. We saved the best for the end of our zoo trip. Right in the parking lot of the zoo they have a vintage carousel from the early 1900's housed in it's own building. It was refurbished and repainted in the 1990's and now has a home at the zoo. We rode the carousel a couple times. Connor thought it was the best! Check out the video clip of Connor and Mark riding the carousel at the bottom of this post.

Connor's favorite bird...the bald eagle

And the zebra

Walking thru the tunnel. I'm sure when the plants get fully grown over the whole arch it probably is pretty cool.
