the zoo is fun anytime of the year, especially when it is free!

The weekend after Christmas we took the opportunity to visit the Milwaukee County zoo for the first time in years (first time ever for the boys). We learned about the week being free admission so decided to bundle up and go since we were in town! 


Grammy and Buppa came with us so we had extra hands and the double stroller. 
It was chilly - so we were happy to go into the animal houses every once and a while. 
 

Sometimes you need a Buppa to get a better view of those silly monkeys! 
 

Daddy and Isaac 
 

Sometimes the shoulders were a way to keep tabs on the kids too - they LOVED being able to run and didn't seem to mind the cold at all! 
 

Love this picture - I think sitting on the railing is "frowned upon" but maybe in the winter they let it slide! 
 

This picture cracks me up - the reptile and fish house was by far the favorite - up close and personal with everything! It was dark so sort of hard to keep tabs on a quick moving toddler in the crowd --- thankfully (?) he was shrieking most of the time he was running! 
 

 And the highlight of the day --- a fond memory of Patrick's zoo trips as a child --- the Mold-a-Rama! 
James chose the green alligator - though the guys stopped to view (and breathe in the fumes) at each station.
