This is Jon's week off between semesters. Since Sophie was having surgery on Tuesday, we decided to go to the Como Zoo on Monday. We invited Karlie and Maverick to come with us.
We saw all kinds of animals, but some of our favorites were the giraffes.
This is the momma lion, and she looked huge.

This is Schroeder and he weighs 525 pounds. He is the biggest gorilla at the zoo. He was huge and he looks mean. I wouldn't want to mess with him.

Sophie liked seeing the animals, but her favorite part was the rides. The whole time we were seeing the animals, Sophie was asking to go on the rides. Her favorite ride was the swings. She was so excited to ride them, since she is too small to ride the swings at the Mall of America. The zoo wasn't very busy, especially since it was a little cool and rainy, so Sophie was the only rider on every ride.
Driving her purple sports car.
Driving the fire truck. The ladders went up and down while squirting water. The kids can ride on the ladder, but Sophie chose to ride inside. I'm glad she did, because I don't think she would have liked it.
She didn't like this ride. It's one of those that drops you once you get to the top. She did not like that feeling. She is her mommy's girl. I hate those rides and Jon just loves them. I don't like feeling like I'm falling and I hate how my stomach feels.
We got to ride the carousel for free. It is a refurbished carousel that is 99 years old. It was beautiful!
In the kids play area they have play animals that you can feed. Sophie had to show me how she could feed the animals.
I love this one with the gorilla. She's up on her tip toes, just so she can feed the gorilla.
Even with the rain, we had a great time.
