Last 6 months in Michigan part 6: Fall at the Detroit Zoo

One of our favorite things to do from the spring of 2011 until into the Winter even, was go to the amazing Detroit Zoo. We had several fun outings looking at Polar Bears, Lions, Monkeys, a huge Crocodile, our personal favorite- the otters, and soooo much more! One of our favorite trips was during Halloween time when they had the Zoo decorated with painted pumpkins stacked together in animal or other designs.







Best Brothers!






Even some of the snake cages were decorated for Halloween!




Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil monkeys . . .










The underwater tunnel is one of our favorites of this zoo:




We caught a nice glimpse of the polar bear!










Pictures from one of our first visits to the zoo . . .




Marcus loved taking all kinds of pictures with his new Nintento DS (which he paid for half of with his birthday money in April 2011)


We LOVED the butterfly pavilion!


See the huge butterfly on the feeder next to Cynthia and Lillian? It is hard to spot because it blends in- - but when it's wings opened - it was bright blue!


The otters are our favorite!!










The fountain is also a great picture spot . . .


I will miss this zoo! Lots of good memories from 2011 . . .
