This year we took the kids to the zoo again for the Claus and Paws day. It was so cold but they had a great time looking at the animals and with so many inside animals and activities we were able to get warm every now and then. We met our friends Paige and Zadak there and walked around with them and their daughter Ava.
We really enjoyed the Africa area with the cool animals. The kids really liked the Giraffes and the lions. The zoo gives the animals treats in big wrapped boxes and the kids liked watching them open their presents.
The area also had lots of displays showing the difference between living here and living there. They had a jeep like you would use in the desert and a hut like they live in in remote areas.

The kids really liked the African instruments.
There was also a Carousel that the kids rode on.
The slides were also a big hit with the kids. We did limit the amount of times they could go down them with the cold weather. Which they weren't to fond of but I was cold!
Of course one of the biggest hits was the Penguins. We visited them twice before we went home. Emilee had to take pictures with all of the display ones too.
Jake kept saying he was at Happy Feet! He even danced for us.
Emilee is ready to be shipped somewhere warm!
Jake liked to let the tiger bit him.
This was my favorite animal, the Elephant Shrews. I thought they were really cute.
My kids of course were really happy posing with the animals but ran screaming from Santa so yet again I have no pictures with the Claus of Claus and Paws. But all in all it was a really fun chance to get out and enjoy the day with Will, who for the last few weeks has all but disappeared as he is preparing projects and getting ready for finals next week.
