Tour de Canada 2013: Visit to the Winnipeg Zoo

Howdy!

Shaena and the boys have now been in Canada for just over a month and it has already been two weeks since I collected my luggage at the Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport and reunited with the rest of Team Harrison-Helin.

On one of the first days of my arrival we paid the Winnipeg Zoo (item #2 on Shaena's to-do list) a visit with Auntie Nini. A zoo is a zoo and we’ve been to a few on our trips over the years, but this one was definitely a nice one and we had a great time checking out everything from butterflies to Polar Bears… to Deere and Bobcats…

The only thing that was a bit weird was that the zoo’s main attraction right now is named Hudson. Hudson is a polar bear cub and his name is plastered absolutely everywhere. They even have a Hudson-gift shop and a café and when we sat down for ice cream tried to get our Hudson’s attention, people must have thought we had gone off our rockers!

The lions sleep tonight?

Are there any ugly Peacocks?

This bird looked like something that
had come straight out of the dryer!

We also saw Deere...

...and a Bobcat...

...and even a Cat! Looked dangerous,
good thing it was fenced in!
