Trip to the Zoo (and Fairytale Town)

Alyssa and Sammy went camping with some friends and I wanted the rest of us to do something fun, we decided to head over the hill to the zoo. Jenna's friend Kyle also went with us. It's not a huge zoo, but big enough. One of our favorite animals was the Red Panda and they had some baby Lemurs that were adorable.

My absolute FAVORITE animal in the zoo....a Tara butterfly!

We also went to Fairytale Town, which is right across the street from the zoo. It is really just a huge playground (2.5 acres, I think) with a lot of Fairytale themed stuff. They also had some animals themed with different Fairy Tales (i.e. three little pigs, Eeyore, three billy goats gruff, etc.). We actually had a lot of fun there and Tara made some new friends while she was playing.

We're off to see the wizard!

Before we headed home, we stopped at Joe's Crab Shack and had dinner. I had a shrimp salad that was awesome! After dinner, we walked down to the dock and saw a seal swimming in the river (I didn't think they had seals in that river). It jumped right out of the water and onto the dock right near us.

We did stop at our Cabela's on the way home (it is in our town, but about 30 minutes away from the house and we don't drive by there too often) so Tim could look at roof racks for the Jeep so we can put luggage up there as well as taking Duncan when we go to 49er games. Tim hadn't been to Cabela's and I had only been there when they opened last year. We didn't have nearly enough time there and it totally made me want to do some more "outdoorsy" type stuff (okay, camping). It is quite an amazing store!
