Zack & Tatum's Visit : Days 1-3

 Zack and Tatum flew into Fargo for a week-long visit. We spent the first three days in Fargo. They got in a few hours later than expected so we only had time for a quick nostalgic stop at Space Aliens for fries and Martian Munchies... 

Then we went to our house for a quick drop-off before heading to the RedHawks' Host Family game. While we got free food at the Armadillo Party Deck, we ended up watching the game from our "normal" seats. 

After church on Sunday morning we drove SE into Minnesota for another trip down memory lane to Fergus Falls. We had lunch at Dairyland, went to see the falls, visited the giant otter, drove by Bethel/HLA and our houses, and did a bit of shopping at Fleet Farm... 

Then we went to Phelp's Mill and did dinner at Zorbaz on Battle Lake... 

Our last stop before going home was a tiki bar in Moorhead, Starbird Lounge. We will go back...

Chris had to teach on Monday, so we stayed close to home. First we went hiking at Buffalo River State Park and were so attacked by mosquitoes that we left and went for a walk at a nice park in town. So yeah, it was a truly Midwest experience. 

After lunch we had walking tacos for lunch followed by beers at Drekker and dinner at Wurst. 

But God gave us another truly Midwest experience and we got to watch an impressive thunderstorm from the garage... 

Henry Doorly Zoo Part 4

 The Live Jungle exhibit was so cool! Not only did it have multiple levels of exhibits to explore with trees, plants, animals, and waterfalls. But it also contained a very large "flock" of bats just flying around inside!

It's possible we saved the best for last!

Although we were there from open to close and got to see all of the things, we didn't get to do all of the things: like ride the train, take the tram tour, go on the chair lift ride over Africa, watch a 3D movie or see any of the shows. 

But we did get to see an incredible display of God's creative heart!
