The Detroit Zoo

We loved the Houston Zoo and visited it many times over our stay in Houston.  It always guaranteed a fun time and was a favorite spring and fall outing with friends.  Last week we were excited to take a day to visit the Detroit Zoo.  We looked forward to a new adventure and exploring the park.  It was a beautiful day and we spent the better part of it enjoying all the exhibits.  The Detriot Zoo was not as large as Houston, but it was just the right size to get out and enjoy a few hours of outdoor fun.  We also visited their education center where we watched the 4-D Rio experience and also the Journey to the Center of the Earth simulator.  The simulator was a first for Brenna.  The main event was a heated chased onboard a giant bumble bee.  She was a little scared and hid underneath her jacket for the first few moments before her curiosity got the better of her and she joined in the chase.  It was a great day and only made me appreciate more the wonderful weather here for this season.  Here's some pictures from our day.

We're in the final stretch as we wrap up summer and start looking ahead to school.  We hope to spend our last weeks laid back and enjoying this amazing weather.  Brenna's excited to go back to school, which always makes things easier.  Even my time is beginning to fill up for the Fall as calls and emails are already coming in about volunteer activities at school.  It's been a great first Summer here in Canada and now we're looking forward to what Fall feels like!
