The Polar Bear Odyssey at the Como Zoo finally opened!
Aunt Angie got us in for a special sneak peek - she was the project manager on Buzz & Neil's new home for over a year before moving to the Minnesota Zoo.
We spent a lot of time in the iceberg, playing with the seal. Kylie loved hugging the seal, and kept "feeding" it!
Neela preferred to ride the seal!
...and Brooke enjoyed squirming and flopping like a seal (and getting tickled!).
We also learned about the polar bears. Buzz likes to roll in the mud, and Neil (AKA Neela) loves to swim. After Kylie decided the bear's name was "Neela", Neela decided she loved to swim all the time (on land, of course!).

One of the bears getting ready to jump in -- by process of elimination, it's probably 'Neela'.

Picking strawberries at Angie's house after the Zoo... then we had supper AND ice cream from the Java Train before heading home!
