Kansas City Zoo

 Everyone loved watching the polar bear

 I was so excited that I timed my picture to actually catch the sea lion touching the ball!

On Thursday, we headed to the Kansas City Zoo.  They have a sky safari that was new last year and my kids were eager to try it.  It is like a ski lift that flies over the African part of the zoo.  It was there favorite part of the whole day.  The carousel was also a big hit, especially with Ella since she rode it no less than five times.  My favorite was the sea lions.  I just love watching all of their tricks.  The polar bear was really neat too and kept the kids captive for quite a while.  A special thanks to AC and Al for showing us around and getting my kids in on their passes.
