Milwalkee day 1

I call this day one because it's a first full day in in Milwaukee. We actually got in yesterday and played and had such a good time. This is our first full day in Milwaukee.


The Milwaukee is one of our favorite zoos. They have everything and their exhibits are awesome. So obviously whenever we visit the Malnar's we also visit the zoo. Since New York was a lot of walking and Allison had a wild week before we got there we were all pretty tired before we even started. We didn't stay as long as we usually do so we hit up our favorite spots first. We saw all the monkey's and tried to see if that one Baboon would try and get Eli again. There were a lot of people around so he never really saw Eli. I guess we will just try again. After all the primates we headed to the Aquarium part. This part still amazes me with how big some of the fresh water fish can get. The boys were impressed too. In the summer the zoo has a dinosaur exhibit. We have been to it before but the boys were too little to really remember so it was like going for the first time again. Eli seriously thought they were all real so when we saw the T Rex he wouldn't move until he looked up and then we took off. Then we got to the spitting dinosaur Liam loved this one. Once it spit at him he started spitting back and roaring at it. Eli was scared then when he saw what he brother was doing he joined in.  Once we went through at the end they show how all the dinosaurs are fake. I asked Eli if they were were or fake and he said the other ones were real and only this on was a robot. Some of the kids wanted to look at the beginging again so we went around and Eli again looked at some of the "real" Dinosaurs. He then came up to me and said. "mom these are robots too. I know this because they move like this." (and he moved like a robot.) He said. "see they move like that robot we saw at the end. Mom these are all fake!!" It is so fun to see their little minds work and learn.
 We did walk around some more exhibits but we were all getting pretty tired so we were going to leave then the little tram that takes you around the whole zoo just randomly showed up so we figured we would take a ride on that. We all hopped on and saw everything else we didn't see. We even stopped by the bears (one of Jacob's favorites) so I quickly snapped a picture.
