Minnesota Zoo

We went to the Minnesota Zoo today.  Emberly had a great time!  We aren't totally sure which animals she really saw because she wouldn't look the direction we were pointing.  We know she enjoyed the ones which moved.  She really loved the fish.  All the bright colors and movement caught her eye.  

We went to the butterfly garden.  I think she enjoyed watching the other kids just as much as watching the butterflies fly around.

Some of the animals were pretty active while we were there - a nice change from the usual laying around all the time that we normally see.  

It was also fun to watch the otters play and the prairie dogs run around.  Two animals guaranteed to be active =).  

The prairie dogs reminded us of Emberly at home.  They would scurry around on all fours then pop up to a stand randomly.  It was similar to the way she crawls around and then pops her cute little head up by the coffee table or couch...or wall or anything she can get leverage on to stand up.  

She seemed extra fascinated with the giraffe, which came rather close to us.
