Detroit Zoo

We visited the Detroit Zoo with Grammy, Chrystal, Ethan and Nolan. The weather was perfect and it was not crowded since all the kids have returned to school. The kids all had fun following the elephant tracks although they couldn't quite understand why there were no elephants. They loved the reptile house. At one point they were watching a large snake get ready to eat his lunch of a dead white mouse. Fortunately/Unfortunately, the snake didn't seem hungry while we were standing there. Not sure how they would have dealt with that.

The monkeys were a hit with the kids. They loved watching them swing around. We continued on to the seals and polar bears.

The seals and the polar bears are my favorite exhibit and since there was not a crowd, we could stand and watch them for a while. One polar bear put on quite a show for us. He just sat on top of the glass tunnel and had a good time.

After this, we went through the kangaroo exhibit. Elizabeth and Alex had fun trying to jump as far as a kangaroo.

We ended the trip with a train ride back which was good for the kids tired legs.
