The Kansas City Zoo offered free admission to residents of Kansas City, MO during the month of October and November. Somehow, October got away from us and we knew we had to get to the zoo pronto or we would miss the great offer.
Last weekend we headed to the zoo on Sunday morning. It opened at 9:30 am and the temp was around 36 degrees (very chilly). But, we all know how much Colin loves to be outdoors, no matter what the temperature was, so we all bundled up and packed some snacks and had a great time. Plus, there were hardly any other zoo-goers there, which made for no lines and lots of up front viewing of the animals. It was great. Colin had an awesome time.
Well, this is Colin before heading into the zoo. He was really mad at us cause we made him put on a coat and hat/mittens. He just wanted to get out of the car and run around.

Come on Mom, let's get inside!
The KC Zoo just got some polar bears for one of their exhibits. I can't believe how big they were, and that they were expected to about double in size when they are full grown.
We got great pictures of the polar bear swimming around under water. He looked like he was having so much fun showing off for the crowd.
The polar bear came and said Hello to Colin!

Colin just loved watching the snakes (ick!). They looked especially excited to see Colin, too.
Colin wanting to get as close as possible to the deer. Yuck, I don't even want to know what is all over that fence...
Brian and Colin headed down the slide in one of the exhibits. I'm pretty sure it wasn't intended for an adult sized person, becuase it shook and rocked the entire time they were in there. Thankfully, it all ended well and they came out the end in one piece...
That slide was fun!

We really had a great time and by the end of the morning, we were running around with our coats off. So thankful we were able to have good weather and a fun place for Colin to explore.
