Every year the Minnesota Zoo has it's annual beach party ( I think that is what they call it). They set up a huge sandbox by the tropics trail for kids to play in. Today was the first day it opened and we were there to check it out!
It was so nice and warm in the topics trail especially considering it was on degrees outside. We planned ahead and brought some sand toys along (this is a BYOT type of event).
Marcus played and played and played.
Don't worry- both Luke and I got right in the sand with him. It was a lot of fun.
It was a lovely way to spend a cold Saturday morning.
Marcus played for about 45 minutes and then we decided to do walk the tropics trail.
I think this was the busiest day that I have been there in ages. Everyone else wanted to be warm too. Marcus loves a lot of things at the zoo but he really likes the komodo dragon.
When we got to the aquarium, the scuba diver was feeding the fish. Marcus thought it was really fun.
He even waved at him and the scuba diver waved back!
It was a really nice trip to the zoo and I think we will head back again before they take down the sandbox in early March.
