Todd is going on a trip for 10 days so we've been trying to take advantage of the warm weather so yesterday we took the kids to a large park that has a lot of things to do including roller coasters and the circus is in town.  Our kids love the rides and so we spent about and hour doing that and then enjoyed our first circus.  The kids had a blast.

Then today we went to the zoo!  Hobs has been talking about the zoo for weeks and wasn't disappointed.  Our zoo has this part where you get into a van that has bars on the windows and drive into the areas that have lions, tigers and bears.  Today as we drove up a black bear got of a water area and stood there just inches away from me in the van.  He sat there and literally smiled at us for a long time.

 The kids love this ride.  If you shoot the animals they will make noise, move or shoot water. 

 As I was taking pictures everyone was telling each other to look at the foreigner !

 There are some crazy fun rides but we stick to the kid ones :)
