Como Park Zoo and Conservatory

In June, Mark and I got up one morning and I said, "Hey, we should go to Como Park!"
Mark said, "Hey, that sounds good! There shouldn't be too many people there, it's a weekday!"
Well, there were A LOT of people there. There was a "Back to the 50s" car show down the street at the state fair grounds, so everyone and their dog decided to go to Como and the car show! :) But it's okay. We still had a REALLY nice time.

First was the Gardens







The best one that we took. hehe Kids...

 Then on to everything else.
We were looking at a stingray and I think a turtle and fish.





 I love sea lions! They were Laina's favorite. 
Can you guess Sutton's favorite animal?
(The answer is at the bottom.)

Puffin





The Tiger is the largest cat in the world. They are just so pretty.

Us looking at the tiger. hehe

Flamingos

We have such an awesome, creative God to make so many different and beautiful animals and plants.
There were a lot more animals that we saw but we didn't take pictures of everything.
We saw ants hauling parts of leaves, a hedgehog, snakes, spiders, a sloth (I named him Sammy just cuz), and lots and lots of other mammals, birds, and reptiles. And chipmunks, but they were just running across our path. :)

 Afterward, 
we went just outside and across the street from the Gardens and had a picnic.



 And Sutton's favorite animal
  A BOBCAT!! hahaha

I asked Bodie what his favorite animal was. He said "Elephant."
There weren't any elephants there......
