Stone Zoo

It was a beautiful March day today, 60 degrees & sunny! Since it was so nice out, we decided to do something outside. So, after lunch we headed down to the Stone Zoo. The Zoo itself was pretty disappointing (we new in advance it was the lesser of the 2 zoos, but wanted to save Franklin Park for summer). The zoo grounds were very muddy & icey, making it tricky & messy to maneuver, especially w/ the stroller. Since it is still winter, a lot of the animals weren't on exhibit. And many of the animals that were still there were sleeping or very difficult to see. We did get a great view of the Black Bear exhibit & saw the bears playing & fighting with each other. Owen enjoyed seeing some of the different birds (Crane, Flamingos, MacCaw) that they had. He had fun walking around & exploring everything. It was a nice way to spend a few hours on a beautiful afternoon, but I am glad we didn't pay for it (since we have a Zoo membership from Philly).

On our way home we stopped at Whole Foods in Woburn to check it out. We ate our way through the store :-) We would love to go back sometime when Owen is a little more cooporative.
