A Little Catching Up

Even though Mr. Bilby' Blog has been a little - ok a lot quiet, Mr Bilby has been busy being out and about.  At the end of summer (boy does that seem like a long time ago) Mr. Bilby helped to pick up some lovely farmers market veggies in Beausejour.  We have long since eaten the veggies and they were very good.  Hopefully we will be able to pick up some more this summer when we are back at the lake.

Before the weather chased us indoors for winter (as you can appreciate Mr. Bilby loves heat since his home is in the desert, so he really dislikes the cold Manitoba winters) we managed to spend a day at the Assiniboine Park Zoo.

The Journey to Churchill Exhibit showcases birds and animals found in the Churchill region of Northern Manitoba.  On the way to seeing the stars of the exhibit we are able to see snowy owls, caribou and wolves.      

 

 

Unfortunately the polar bears in the Journey to Churchill Exhibit were not terribly active.  The  seals however were very playful and were a joy to watch:  

We spent so long in the Journey to Churchill that it left plenty of the zoo to visit on another day.  As an added attraction at the zoo there was a Dinosaurs Alive Exhibit and since it was only going to be a the zoo a little while longer we decided we ought to check it out as well.  We will continue with the dinosaurs with the next blog post.
