We normally get a season pass to Como Town and visit a number of times throughout the summer. This year our first visit was on August 20th when Brian was at his annual guys trip in WI. Our day started out with my Mom and I taking the kids to the Mpls Farmer’s Market to get some fresh produce. From there we thought we would spend a few hours at Como Town/Zoo but ended up spending the entire day there! We had a nice picnic lunch, went on some rides, and of course saw some animals.
It was also James’ first visit to the zoo! He LOVED it! His favorite were the flamingos, ducks, seals, giraffes and tigers. When he would get excited he would make grunting noises and flap his hands at the animals. The girls and I enjoyed looking at the new polar bear even though he was sleeping the whole time. He was huge! There were also grizzlies from the North Dakota zoo visiting and they were pretty cool to watch as well.
We ended the day with dinner at Gabes by the Park. I worked as a waitress part-time there while saving money for our wedding so it was fun to go back and see how it looks 10 years later. It was a very fun and busy day and we were lucky enough to have Grandma Sharon along with us to the enjoy the good times! Oh, and Brian also had a fun time away on his guy’s weekend. He always enjoys spending time with his Chicago buddies who he doesn’t get to see often enough.
