Seamus was at the Milwaukee zoo two years ago, when he was just one month old, but of course he doesn't remember it. His eyes grew bigger and bigger as we saw the sites. And that's sayin' a lot, cause they're already pretty darn big. His eyes really became super-sized when he experienced the train. The train was definitely the highlight for Seamus.
The girls, on the other hand, were excited about the temporary butterfly exhibit. Mike kept teasing them that they came all the way to a large zoo, filled with exotic animals from all over the world, and they want to spend their time with a bunch of insects. As if we didn't have enough of those already in Wisconsin.
And to make matters worse, the butterfly exhibit is in a very hot and humid building. On purpose. Walking out of that building made the regular hot n humid 85 degree temperature feel like air conditioning.
But one look at this little girl's face made the sweltering insect and human terrarium all worth the time and effort.
Teresa, Bridget and Molly Grace caught many different kinds of butterflies. Erin was completely fascinated by it all.
Poor Aidan. He wanted to see the great apes and that was one of the only exhibits we didn't get to. Good thing he lives with a bunch of monkeys.
The merry-go-round was also fun for Erin and Seamus. Here is a picture of Erin spotting me as she came around.

Oh, and another highlight for Molly Grace was the Sponge-Bob ice cream bar with the bubble gum eyes. She remembered it from two years ago and talked about it on the ride down. She was not disappointed : )
Until next time, thank you Baird!
