The kids and I love the Zoo. We are even members of the Zoo which has been very fun because you can go early on special days, as well as get great discounts. I highly recommend it to those with little ones. I am a firm believer that the way you treat animals and God&#8217;s other creations dictates how you treat each other. So we go to the zoo often and pet the animals and talk about how unique each one is. It&#8217;s very fun and very relaxing. I am a rusher. I like to do things quickly, but at the Zoo I take my time and I love it. I like to tell the kids about the animals in different countries and what they will see when we go to Africa. It&#8217;s fun. The above trip, Lee was able to come! The kids LOVED having him there and I loved not having to push the double stroller up the hills! As I&#8217;m typing this and looking at the photos, I realize I am convincing myself that we need to go to the Zoo tomorrow. If you are there, look for us. I am feeling like a Zoo weekend. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is nothing quite like a crisp winter morning trip to the Zoo. The kids and I love the Zoo.
