Emma enjoyed looking at the zebras and the bison, but her favorite animals at the zoo today were the prairie dogs. One of them ran right up next to her on the other side of the glass partition. Emma also liked looking at the farm animals, making animal sounds as we visited the cows, pigs, and roosters.
We also saw ostriches this morning at the zoo as they ran around with the zebras and wildebeests.
After eating lunch, we checked out the dolphins and sharks. Emma had wanted to see the dolphins since our arrival at the zoo. We also took a walk through the tropics trail. Emma liked the flamingos there as well as some of the fish. One of them swam right up to her when she was sitting on the ground by their aquarium. It was tough to pull her away from there.
We were all getting a bit tired by then, so we skipped the Minnesota Trail and headed home. We also would have liked to visit the butterfly garden as today was the last day it was open for the season, but the line was very long. We will have to try to see that next year.

Your local Minnesota Zoo is a great zoo -- one of the nation's best! It sounds like they still have their temporary African exhibit up. I personally like their new Russia's Grizzly Coast exhibit the best.

Thanks for the comment. I believe the weekend we were at the zoo was the last for the Africa exhibit. I do love the Russia's Grizzly Coast exhibit as well. My daughter especially likes the bears there.
