We had quite the trip up to Madison, Wisconsin to visit with Josh, Stephanie, Ben and David. First, we visited the Madison zoo during the early stages of a blizzard. Well, it wasn't full blown blizzard yet, but was snowing quite a bit. We had the zoo to ourselves. I think we saw a total of 5 other people.
Emily and Davie. Note the lion on top of the rock behind them in the middle.
Checking out the monkey house. It was indoors though they did have an outdoor playground for the warmer temperatures.
Snow!!! Not sure if the kids were more excited about the snow or the animals...
They ate a lot of snow that day, though not as much as the next day... see below...
Our snow picnic. Yes, we had a picnic outside in the snow! If the Eskimos can do it, so can we!! No, it was really, really cold!! After our snow picnic we went into the bathrooms to warm up under the hand warmers.
Everyone was very content! Even Kyle and Emily didn't mind it being 60 degrees colder than they are used to in San Diego!
Davie, Ben, Kyle & Emily checking out the otters. They got such a kick out of them. The otters came up to the glass and did flips for them. The kids all squealed with delight at them.
More tricks!
