Michigan Trip Part 2 - Excursions

Just 5 short hours after landing in Detroit the Kalmar family was already on an excursion at the Circus!  McMorran Place hosted it's 1st Circus in over 10 years and good seats were still available!
 
The Elephants were a highlight

Aunt Bonnie insisted this picture make the blog

This lady trained Lions, Tigers, danced, did trapeze, stood in the globe of death...
 
Our second trip took us to Algonac to take a boat trip with Dad's friend Jason and his family.

The girls had a great time when they went to shore.  But it was a long trip back to the boat!
 
Life is but a dream...

The very next day we were off to the Detroit Zoo with Uncle Bill, Aunt Bonnie, and the Cousins!

The Polar Bear was the top attraction - unless you ask Taylor who thought it was the Barn Owl.
 
Whack-a-mole!  Cousin Will with the Prairie Dogs
 
We were right in the enclosure walking freely amongst a mob of kangaroos

What a nice Uncle!

Carousel ride to end the day!
 
Wow are we tired from all these trips!
