At the beginning of October we headed downstate to see some family and go to the Detroit Zoo. We had never been to the Zoo and thought maybe a cool October day would be a good time to see the animals out and about. Well, it ended up a bit colder than we expected and then Simon got a horrible cold while we were there and was fairly miserable. But other than that it was a fun weekend!

 |
| These baboons? were fairly active |
 |
| The lions were napping but were right in the front of their enclosure |
 |
| Daddy and Evelyn watching the lions sleep |
 |
| It was very important for Evelyn to see the flamingos |
 |
| The black bear came out as we were right in front |
 |
| Two of the grizzly bear brothers came right out and started playing |
 |
| Evelyn and Daddy and Aunt Laura and Simon watching the bears |
 |
| At the kangaroo enclosure we get to walk right through and watch them hop around only it was cold and only one was out and about |
 |
| A couple of cousins being prairie dogs |
 |
| It was pretty fun! |
 |
| The kids were not too impressed with the eagles sitting there, but I thought they looked pretty |
 |
| Pretty flowers |
 |
| The Giant Anteaters were running around |
 |
| Because it was October there were pumpkin animals throughout the zoo |
 |
| Cold peacock trying to get some french fries |
 |
| There were lots of seals swimming over the tunnel |
 |
| Our whole group (minus Simon and I as this was when he fell asleep) |
 |
| Best picture I could get of the polar bear, he was hiding in the corner |
 |
| Flamingo pumpkins |
 |
| Cousins riding frogs (Simon was still sleeping) |
 |
| Penguin pumpkins |
 |
| We went into the butterfly house towards the end of our visit |
 |
| It may not look like it, but Simon was pretty excited when he woke up for the butterflies |
We had a great time at the zoo and hopefully I am the only one who got Simon's cold.
