Playing Hooky

Warning: Lots of pictures ahead!

Since we were out so late on Saturday night and the service we usually go to starts at 8:15 we decided the night before to let the kids sleep as late as they would and not worry about going at 8:15. We ended up decided to not go to church at all(it's ok ONCE in a while) and we made a trip to the Little Falls Zoo. It was SO NICE! It's not near as big as the zoo we go to in the cities every year(which we are still planning on going to this year) but it was WAY less crowded, which is nice. The kids really enjoyed the animals. Our favorites were the tiger and the bears. There were three bear exhibits and we were able to get very close to them, so that was cool. There was also a little petting zoo, which Tate and Callie loved. Hunter didn't want to touch them.




We had a picnic lunch at the park by the zoo and played on the playground...






We then went to the Charles Linbergh State Park and hiked on the trials. It was really pretty.







And after all that it was a pretty quiet ride home:
