ZOO

 One of the highlights of the weekend was going to the Milwaukee County Zoo with Courtney, her Mom and her brother.  We packed up the entire Peterson gang and headed to the zoo.
Courtney's Mom has worked at the zoo for over 30 years and has worked with many of the animals in the various areas of the zoo.  She is in charge of all of the penguins right now.  It was funny how she could call each penguin by name and they would listen to her!!!

We were blessed to have a behind the scenes tour in the reptile and amphibian house...we went up above the exhibit and got a chance to feed some of the fish and turtles from the amazon!!  It was very cool!!!

 Courtney's Mom then took us into the actual penguin exhibit where we could visit with the different penguins.  Yes, it was 40 degrees in there..brrrr.  Again, she knew each penguin by name and knew that "stella" the penguin would be very interested in our shoe laces....which, she WAS!!

 Here's my view while I was in the exhibit  (I was standing where John was in the above picture)

We also saw these beautiful creatures showing off...

 Father's Day was great...spent time with my Mom and Dad, had a delicious dinner with them. Sorry, no pictures!  Hoping the Petersons (John's parents) had a fun day too!!!  XOXO
