First Spring visit to the MN Zoo farm...

We headed to the MN Zoo today since it's "Farm Babies" time.  Based on last year we thought the kids would be in HEAVEN.  How wrong we were.  Maybe they regressed over the Winter or something, in relation to their fear of animals?  Anyway, all we tended to hear from Finn was screaming and "Noooo!  Too karry!  Too karry! (scary)"  Poor guy.  He just CLUNG to me half the time.  Layla also "wanted" to see the animals, technically, but she was very hesitant most of the time.  Guess we'll need to work through this on a yearly basis for a while?  :)

Finally warming up to feeding a goat.


A rare moment of non-terror for Finn.

The FAKE animals they loved, of course...


Checking out the baby pigs.  

Bunnies.  


He looooved the tractor.  

Finn:   OUTTA HERE.

She couldn't work up the courage to feed this calf.  This was as close as she got. 

The lovely white horses. 

Finn actually requested to be IN the stroller.  I think he felt safer there.  :(

Ah, known fun.  ;)



Mr. Charm.  




Shark!!

Playing near the penguins.  


Baby chicks!!

Mr. Blue Eyes.  




 On the way home we got fries for the kids, and pizza for the adults in our old stomping grounds.  :)






We at in the car, as all good parents to want to keep their kids from terrorizing restaurant patrons do... ;)
