Monkey Love

Grandma Finn treated us to a day at the Minnesota Zoo on Thursday and we just could not get enough of those CUTE CUTE monkeys! They are snow monkeys from Japan and don't mind our chilly MN weather. There was a tiny baby that mostly stayed with it's mom, but did venture out for a little rough housing with an older monkey, and two adolescent(?) monkeys that chased each other all over the enclosure, up and down trees and all around. It was great to watch.

The zoo has a new exhibit, Russia's Grizzly Coast, which has grizzly bears, sea otters, leopards, and wild boar. All of the signs were written in Russian and English. Grandma Finn was especially interested as she was a Russian linguist in the Navy. (and LOVES sea otters)

This zoo didn't make me sick to my stomach. The animals all have huge areas to live in, so much so that you often can't see them because they are somewhere else in their enclosure. :) We had a great time and I think that was the end of Aidan's busy week. We had swimming lessons on Tuesday, Creepers and Crawlers on Wednesday, and the zoo on Thursday. He should be one tired little boy today.
