Field Trip Gone Wild!


Today's post is about our field trip to the Assiniboine Park Zoo.
Having never driven in Winnipeg before I decided to take a chance. Surely I would find the zoo if I drove in the right direction. Unfortunately I was driving in the wrong direction and drove right out of Winnipeg. After stopping for a map, I decided to take the perimeter till I found the street I needed. Unfortunately I once again driving in the opposite direction on the perimeter highway(heading north instead of south).
It was then that we commenced our site seeing tour of Winnipeg. We drove south on Henderson highway, past the The Manitoba Museum , the Winnipeg Forks, and through St. Boniface. It was in St. Boniface that we discover where we where on the map. After this our site seeing trip ended, and our trip to the zoo began.
We made it to the zoo and here are the pictures to prove it.


We spent a lot of time watching the Prairie Dogs. The kids love how playful they are.


This couple spent most of there time kissing.

This little guys ate, and ate, and ate..........

The kids spent time watching the Bison aswell, they are very striking creatures.

I couldn't resist posting this picture.

Last but not least is this little guy. He was so curious.....................

Ah, you & I have been blessed with the same sense of direction.

YAY for the zoo ... I'd love to get another shot at it before the snow flies. (Though we've been there mid-winter and it's still fun!)
