penguins

our zoo just opened a new penguin exhibit last fall and we thought that going to see them would be the perfect thing to do on our day off of school for president's day. it has been awhile since our last visit to the zoo and the kids were super excited to go.

 photo DSC_3781copy_zpsea7d40cb.jpg the whole time we were at the zoo Sabrina kept asking were the gorillas were. the kansas city zoo isn't the greatest in turn of layout and getting to the gorillas is a trek along a shaking bridge, but we made the journey in hopes that the gorillas would be out.

  photo DSC_3777copy_zps205c1f15.jpg because of the cold weather and all of the snow, not many animals were out. but it was still a super fun day and the kids enjoyed just being outside and running and climbing. plus, we always enjoy a trip to the zoo! :)
