Como Zoo

I decided to take Ammon to Como Zoo today, and we happened upon the free Monday for the carousel!
Ammon was not excited about riding the carousel. He's never really been on a "ride" before. He tried to sneak away from me, so I had to hold him.
We shared a horse, which I think calmed his fears some.
Once it got going, he was still somber, but liked
it.
I guess I didn't take any pictures of the animals. Ammon loved the new rain forest room. He especially loved the turtles, snakes, and fish. He hated the fire ants. They "freaked his freak."



I love his reflection. It's fun to see tree ferns native to New Zealand in this room.






As soon as we walked in the sunken garden, my senses were going bee-zerk. Then I saw fresias. Mmmmm.



Oriental Garden



What is it? Fun colors!




Ammon begged to go on the carousel again on our way home, and loved it.

I need to add that we went to Target before and after the zoo. I don't journal about my great coupon savings, but I think it'll be fun to remember some day. Spent $18.59; saved $70.94. And guess what? It's all stuff I would buy anyway. 15 lbs of chicken breasts for $14.
