Minnesota Zoo

Our generous friends gave us free tickets to the Minnesota Zoo this summer and we were thrilled since it is SO expensive for us to go- even with our Fargo Zoo membership!  So we don't go very often.

Shortly after we arrived Jeffrey's sunglasses slipped off his shirt and into the petting pool with all of sting rays and sharks!  We all sat there forever staring at them until a worker came to the rescue with a net.  It was an interesting start to our day there!
 

 

 

We never get tired of studying the penguins.

Look how close the bear was!

 

They make me take a picture of this every time we go.

Mingos!

The river otter was very friendly that day also- they are one of our favorite zoo animals.  We are ecstatic that the Fargo Zoo recently acquired some!

 

Fun Fun Fun day- thank you again to our friends for the tickets!

Here are some pictures from the Renaissance Festival in Shakopee, Mn-
we had SO MUCH FUN at this event- we are definitely making this a family tradition!  I already have ideas for outfits for next year...

The Pet Shop Scouts in Rattlin' Can

Still playing catch up!  Today Mickey worked really hard on putting together a major musical production of Rattlin' Can performed by "The Petshop Scouts" (an acting troupe).  It was amazing- and he put so many details into it!

Here is the ticket booth.

The tickets...

and Boo getting in for free with her special reservation.  (Puppies are free Mickey explained.)

This is the bunny at the Will Call window where Boo had to pick up her ticket.

Here is a sign we noticed by the bathroom door.

Concessions.

There were a lot of animals in the audience let me tell you.  They stayed pretty quiet though.

Bunny played the part of "Gas".
If you haven't heard this song yet go here.

Boo stayed pretty quiet too.

Jeffrey was in his bandana phase at this point.

 

It was a VERY impressive performance.  Mick is so creative!

We Got a Puppy!!

Picture I sent John from the Pet Store... asking permission to proceed...
Like always :) he said yes.

Isn't she adorable??

 

 

 

 

 

First bath.

 

 

 

She snuggles with her teddy bear.

 

Homeschool with their new pup.

 

She's as sweet as can be!
Hope it lasts...
