Detroit "Zoo"

What can I say about the Detroit Zoo? It's quite lovely...nicely landscaped under a canopy of trees. Very historic. It really only lacked one minor thing: animals. It was weird...lots of the enclosures were empty. We still managed to have a good time, though. Guess what we did first: Zoo Train to see some animals....or so we thought....

Two of my favorite boys!


A WOLVERINE!! Since we were in Michigan, this was a MUST SEE.


Australian outback....can you see the little Joey snuggled with his mama??





A polar bear....sort of.


And what zoo is complete without....dinosaurs...huh? Actually this exhibit was the boys' favorite (even though they charged extra admission for this). These dinos moved and roared!




Hangin' with the original "Mr. T"





Noah saw this guy and said, "he's a plant eater! I'm going to feed him." Guess he wasn't hungry.





Toad Stool


The zoo did have a FABULOUS playground


LAND HO!



Alex at the helm



MOMENTOUS OCCASION: Both boys learned how to slide down the fire pole!


All in all a fun day...if you weren't looking for animals!
