Blank Park Zoo

Today we enjoyed one of the last weekends of summer by taking a trip to the Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines. It sure was hot - but we had lots of fun! We're already planning a trip to the zoo for next summer!

To start the trip out right - ADAM decided to turn Harper's car seat so it was facing forward! The guidelines suggest that the child be 20 lbs AND at least one year old. Well, Harper is 20 lbs and almost one. Two weeks shy - what's the big deal - it's not like she little-little. I wasn't going to argue with 'the law' - aka - Adam :) She is getting to be such a big girl!!! How cute is she?!?!

Harper's favorite part of the zoo was Kiddie Kingdom - a large petting zoo and playground. You could feed the animals through the little boxes. Harper was not afraid to walk right up to the boxes and stick her head and hands in there! The animals didn't stay long once they realized that she didn't have food.

Looking at the Tiger...



The Giraffe's were my favorite!


We took a ride on the little train that drives around the zoo grounds. Harper loved it! She sat like a very good girl between Adam and I. Took everything in! What a big girl!




We ended our day with a quick trip to Old Navy - and then ate supper at On The Border with Abby and Aaron!

This is just a short video of Harper walking around - I love watching her walk - This was at Kiddie Kingdom.


Here is a video of Harper at the petting zoo - she was laughing and screaming at the goats :)
