Zoo time

We took a trip to the zoo to meet the new baby polar bears.  Last year the Columbus Zoo had one baby polar bear.  This year they had three!  When we first went to the polar bear exhibit, we found out baby polar bears take morning naps too! 

So we did a little more exploring and had lunch.  After lunch we saw the twin baby bears!  They were swimming with their momma, and we went underground to watch from the underwater viewing area.  It was really neat to see the polar bears swim above us! 

After the polar bears, we spent very little time actually looking at animals.  We climbed on a lot of statues, visited the petting zoo (I guess we did see a lot of goats!), and visited the water play area.  Oh well, that's why we have a membership.  We can visit one animal at time and then just goof off.

Always a favorite - the giant moose statue

The first polar bear that we saw for the day.

Then we went to the petting zoo.  Laney's first chance to pet a goat!  She didn't like it very much.

These two are old pros at goat petting.  The immediately grabbed their brushes and got to grooming.

This little boy is so sweet.

The newest play area at the zoo is this ocean themed splash playground.  They love climbing on all these animals!
