And I ended up buying a membership. Best idea ever. We’ve been several times since. And I’m not sure how our zoo compares to other cities as far as rankings or whatever but I think it’s spectacular. So does the Girl:
Checking out some wallabies
She hates the hat but loves watching the creatures move around.
Monkeys are fun... Just like her doggie.
But her favorite part of the zoo? The Aquarium:
She LOVES watching the fish and I have discovered that the benches behind the shark tank are a great place to discreetly feed her. Even though thanks to watching too much shark week they TERRIFY me…
To this shark my child is a snack. Pic from here. I think the best part is showing her animals that we’ve seen in the wild… like the macaws:
Pic from the Amazon Rainforest in Peru
Pic from the Cleveland Zoo.That has even inspired a new colorway: Scarlet Macaw.
Which is not exactly a destination but certainly is inspired by travel.
So yeah… Life in Cleveland is good:
Family pic from our first visit.
All funned out.
It's just a bit wild right now. (har har har)
the zoo membership was a great investment for my family too!
ReplyDeletewe did not get it this year because of the wifey being preggers and all, we didn't think we would get the mileage out of it like we did last year.
but you can definitely look for us next year.
the zoo memebership also gets you free admission to other zoos across the country. how awesome is that?!
Dude! Dori from Little Nemo is hanging at the Cleveland Zoo? Who knew!
ReplyDeleteThe Big E and I love the zoo! We are just bummed that we don't have little kids to take with us anymore. . .we look forward to sharing this with our grandkids. . .someday!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and colorway!
What a fun day. The Akron Zoo is having a great jelly fish exhibit that I've been meaning to go to. Gizmo is sure getting those naps in.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time at the zoo. I'm on vacation this week and am planning on going. I think our zoo is pretty great. I've been to the San Diego zoo and ours is much nicer.
ReplyDeleteWe love the Cleveland Zoo! (BTW---It stacks up well with the others we've visited.) The Rainforest is especially great for a Spring Break visit---the greenery, the waterfall, the warmth! It's a nice break from the little bit of snow we usually have left on the ground in April here in No. Michigan. My favorite at the zoo is the giraffes!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Your family and the yarn and the zoo are all gorgeous! By the way, zoo memberships are the best value around. They are also tax deductible. Next time you're in Toledo, visit our zoo... the gorillas and chimps are great.
