The Chalupa Clan took a trip to the Blank Park Zoo this morning. It was warm, but not too-warm and sunny, but not too-sunny - the ideal zoo day!
Some of our favorites: the massive turtles, penguins, and the aquarium area. We had a great time! And we ended our family outing with a picnic at Grey's Lake. It was the perfect day!

Gingerly crossing the rope bridge

She enjoyed the yellow and black tree frog (a Hawkeye, perhaps?) and the poisonous blue dart frog

Zoo Adventurer!

Carter, Andy and I enjoying the day!

A picnic lunch at Grey's Lake, including Carter's lunchable and grapes, and panini's and chips for Andy and I. Carter quickly learned she could share a bit of her lunchable cracker-sandwiches with Andy for a chip in return! And then began to stuff him full of grapes, using the buzz-buzz airplane method for picky eaters!
