Sometimes a trip to the zoo, isn't just a trip to the zoo...it may also include a Hmong Freedom Festival. That was us on Saturday. My Dad really wanted to take the grandkids to the zoo, and despite a state government shut-down that forced the closure of the Minnesota Zoo and funneled the animal-seeking masses to the only other zoo around, we headed to Como Park Zoo, and the adventure began. An hour later, we found ourselves packed into a big yellow school bus surrounded by our Hmong friends, traveling from the remote parking lot to the zoo. Talk about people. Geesh. I think it was busiest day at Como Park. Ever. Despite the crowds, we had a great time, and the kids loved the animals, cotton candy, and bus ride.
