Happy 1st Birthday, Daryl!

 Daryl turned 1 on April 13th, 2012!  He celebrated by going to the Minnesota Zoo with Ma-Ma and Da-Da.  It was a little rainy, cold and very windy, but luckily there is plenty to do inside!  We had so much fun!

"Ahhhh!  Help us, Daddy!"
Watching the penguins.  "Uh...Mommy?  What is this thing?"
 Daryl almost loved watching all the kids around him more than the animals!
 We're in the rain forest.
 Look at all the fish!
 Exploring under the crocodile tank with Daddy
 This was a "fallen tree" that you can climb in, and it goes right through the monkey exhibit!
 One of the monkeys was sleeping right above Matt's head!
 There it is!  So beautiful!
 Kimodo Dragon (on the bottom)
 "You better hurry before the ma-ma alligator comes back!"
 Climbing through some tunnels
 "This was my favorite part!"
 Showing off his walking skills while exploring the under-water exhibit!
 "Shhhh...the coyote's sleeping!"
 Riding a wolf with Daddy
 Daddy made Mommy nervous by sitting me on the ledge, luckily there were just birds and turkeys here, no bears or lions.
Bobcat - Daryl wants a kitty now!


"Look how close he is!"
Because it was so cold out, we didn't walk much outside, instead we took the tram.

"I can see so many things running around!"

Petting the sheep

Feeding a goat

The cutest chicken around!

Driving a tractor just like my great-grandpa, Daryl!
It was super windy, but Daryl had a blast petting the goats!  He thought they were so funny, his legs gave out a few times!
