A Change of Zoo Scenery

We decided to hit the Detroit Zoo today, and compare it to the Toledo Zoo. We discovered they are just different, really good in their own ways. I wouldn’t say one is better than the other.

 

Last time we were at the TZ the butterfly house was empty… I was really bummed.

But it was open at the DZ today!! It was gorgeous. I want to live there. There were butterflies flying all around our heads, landing all around, and having snacks. Ben loved it. We all did! It was awesome.

 

Aunt Kelly came too. Ben loves her so much.SDC12429SDC12426  SDC12437 SDC12443 SDC12444 SDC12447 SDC12449

They have a kangaroo area where the kangaroos roam free and you walk through. They are SO cute. SDC12453 SDC12455 

Here’s Ben covering his eyes before running through the water spritzer with his Auntie.

Ben looked a little claustrophobic..

I think he had a good weekend. I tried to make it a good one, since he has a quiet week ahead. {Tomorrow is Ben’s surgery}

Wish us luck!
