Zoo!!

January 18th we went to the zoo in Cleveland. It was COLD!! We ate, saw the lions, flamingo's, Koala house and then went up the mountain. The primate, cat and aquatics building is my favorite. The kids really enjoyed the monkeys and the sharks. They were also very interested in why there was a Mr Potato-head toy in the octopus tank. I had no answer for them. The walk back down was much more enjoyable! We then went to the Rain Forest but it was packed so we just did the bottom floor and headed home. We were there a good 4 hours and we had a great time. It was wonderful to just get up and decide we wanted to do something as a family and then have a place to go. Thank you Grandma Sandra for the membership!!
