Red River Zoo

We've been able to experience a fairly warm week which has been really nice. If only this week could have lined up with spring break for the kids. Today was the last day of school for the older kids before starting spring break and unfortunately for them starting late tonight it's supposed to be freezing temperatures again. We wanted to take advantage of the last warm day we'll have for awhile so once the kids got home from their half day at school we all went to the zoo. We haven't gone since the day after Christmas because it's been really cold but today the kids were in tee shirts. It's so crazy how our perspective can change everything. Because a day like today would have felt cold in Texas but here in North Dakota after the cold we've experienced it felt so warm. We even brought sweaters and one by one everyone got too warm and took theirs off, including me. It was a nice day. I'm curious how tonight will go. We've been getting 'prepare for blizzard' warnings the last couple of days in regards to the weather change predicted to start around midnight tonight. Today was a good day though and we all had fun.

Quinn is in the white shirt and Rylee is in the yellow shirt.
Our first time around we never did explore this part of the zoo. The kids were able to play on two different new playgrounds that we didn't do last time.
This table was massive.
This was a happy coincidence. 
I didn't even know this giant yellow chair was here so the girls matching this chair was really cute.
We spent a surprisingly long time just in this location watching these guys. They were hilarious.
