We left in the dark of Friday night with the moonlight as our guide, the Twin Cities our destination, to see my sister and sister-in-law. Our headlights pierced the night as we pulled into my sister's driveway, all the lights were off, but there was Alexis, waiting to lead us to a warm bed for the night. Over mouth watering pancakes on Saturday morning, my husband and I got to play catch-up with my sister Jamie and her life-partner Alexis, while Jaelyn played on the floor. After breakfast was devoured and dishes were cleaned we packed some lunches and we were off! Our adventure...the Mn. Zoo! Amongst the many calls and smells of animals from near and far around the globe, we laughed and chatted and enjoyed the company of one another. Jaelyn especially like the petting zoo, where she got to feed some goats from her hand. Among the bleating of greedy, hoofed beasts scrambling for every last morsel, my daughters giggles were like music to my ears. Nothing makes a mother so happy, as to hear her child laugh in merriment. Lunch was eaten, animals of the sea, sky and earth were spotted, and information was absorbed. All too soon, it was time to turn our tails to home, well, my sisters home that is.
The aquarium enthralled Jaelyn to no end, watching fish, sharks and even a dolphin, she could have stayed there all day!
Jaelyn pretending to be a bear!
Several dollars worth of goat-feed went into this little ones belly!
Last but not least, a family of farmers...for a day!
