July 3, 2010 - Zoo Trip 9

I love the little butterfly house at Saginaw Children's Zoo.

My guys checking out the Prarie Dog that is checking them out.

Alligator - good thing this really isn't out in the wild.

The playground, one of the boys favorite spots.

Asa informed me he was swimming with the dolphin.

Penguins swimming. I am so happy to see them roaming about the exhibit more now.

Trisha hard at work in the Kangaroo walk about.

Riding the carousel with daddy.

Resident Peacock. Love the tail feathers. They are such beautiful creatures.

Riding the carousel a second time. Think Eli is a bit tuckered out.

Watching the train go by before we headed home.

We were going to try to see more fireworks on this evening but opted to head home and relax. We did watch the Bay City fireworks on the TV though.

We got to Frankenmuth early and took the opportunity to walk around town and play the tourist. Always a fun thing to do. As we headed toward the bridge we came across a family of ducks and the kids had fun walking and quacking after them.

And who doesn't like the face cut-out picture opportunity?

A beautiful fountain in the downtown area.

Watching taffy being pulled.

At this point we headed to get some ice cream.
