Warm Spell

This weekend brought a much needed warm spell (30's & 40's) here in Minnesota. We took full advantage while we knew it would be short. Sunday was a great day to play outside. The kids and daddy made snow angels, shoveled, and played on the slide.

Monday we went to the zoo. We even braved the outdoor part and got to see the puma's, baby lynx, and tigers among many others without freezing our tails off. The inside dolphins and sharks are always a great attraction too. Here are pics by the tiger's den.
