Detroit Zoo

Mark came up to Detroit for the weekend and we decided to get out take the kids to the Detroit Zoo. We went into the Butterfly Sanctuary with the kids and it was crazy all of the butterflies flying around us. They were all so pretty, it was very neat! See if you can find the butterfly in this picture with Marshall?
Did you find it? It's on his shirt. While he was busy looking at the other ones, that one landed right on his shirt, pretty cool.
This was a picture of a peacock that was just roaming around. He or she, I don't know, was really pretty and surprisingly was too bothered by us taking its picture. I guess it's used to the celebrity lifestyle at the zoo? The golden eagles were really pretty as well. I have never seen one in real life. They were both rescued and brought to the Detroit Zoo to be rehabilitated due to injured wings. They were absolutely beautiful.
We of course had to go see the Polar Bears. I took a picture of the kids with Mark before going into the Polar Bear exhibit with the Polar Bear statue. Marshall was too busy watching everybody walk by and Jordan was probably trying to go to sleep, as usual, but I got a picture.
This was at the end of the exhibit and the walls were frozen and people had stuck their fingers in the ice on the walls, so Marshall and I tried it to. It was really cold!!!
The zoo was so big and we were so tired, we decided to take the train back to the entrance. The kids had a good time riding it and we got to rest our feet for a moment.
