We went to the Zoo, zoo, zoo .....

Last weekend we packed up and headed to Minnesota to spend some time at the Minnesota State Zoo to wrap up Francis's birthday. We had beautiful weather and great company! Kynzley and Benton loved seeing all the animals and since it was the zoo's off season it wasn't very busy which allowed Benton to run free and experience things up close! This is also where we learned that Benton knows the word 'kitty'.

Kynzley LOVED Discovery Cove and being able to touch different sea life

Benton loved it too!

Always learning ;-)

Can you tell she was super excited that Jeremy was going to ride the carousel with her?!

We surprised Francis with a Dairy Queen ice cream blizzard cake which did not end as we had hoped. As we were setting up the camera for this picture Francis went to sit down, cake in tow, and just like in a movie he flipped it over onto the floor. No one moved, we all just stared - ha! As you can see the top of the cake doesn't look very pretty, we scraped it off and salvaged what we could!
