Vacation Recap: Minnesota Zoo

We were super excited to take Jaxon back to the Minnesota Zoo after last year's experience with their splash pad. We had planned to let him run through the water when we got there and again before we left, but as you can see from the picture below, that didn't happen. Our visit started with almost an hour of watching him run around and laugh in the water (that time went FAST!), which apparently wore him out. This year, the dolphin stadium was done so we got to see the dolphin show too. About 3/4 of the way through the zoo, Jax fell asleep. So we finished off the farm area and the Northern trail while he napped.

Last year, he had his picture taken sitting on this pig ~ I figured we probably shouldn't wake him up to torture him like that this year. Sleepin



M&M face from snacking before the dolphin show ~ we had to use something to keep him from wiggling around!

The pictures from the splash pad are my favorite from our zoo visit. Once he realized it was ok to play in the water, he was off and running (and screaming). There was a little girl pretty close in age that followed Jax around for a bit before he showed her how to rev up and race off.
