I've always enjoyed going to the zoo- not just because some of the animals are really cute but because it brings back memories from my childhood (that makes me sound like I'm forty!).
So when we decided to brave the cold and make the long journey up to the Cleveland Zoo, I was tickled pink. And what made the whole thing even better was that Hannah was going to come too! We were all super excited about that!
When the big day arrived, it actually dawned bright and rather mild. There was the usual rush of getting things ready, of packing bags of snacks, water bottles, and extra clothes for William. Somehow we got everything settled in the van without any major catastrophes occurring.
I'm sure you've all been to the zoo, so I don't need to get into any of the nitty gritty details. We enjoyed walking from exhibit to exhibit, all except William. He preferred to see the sights from atop Andrew's shoulders. Lucky.

The happy group - minus Mom and Dad
One of the highlights of the visit for me was the CAROUSEL! The Cleveland Zoo just put in a lovely indoor carousel, and I was really eager to see/ride it! I may be older than dirt, but I still get a thrill when the music starts and everything starts to whirl around. I chose a giraffe calf as my ride.
It's hard to get a nice picture on a carousel!

Tanya's imitation of a catfish!
Gotta have a picture of some animals! We were at the zoo, after all. Mom was very concerned for these bears' safety. She was afraid they would fall off this rock. We assured her that they were most likely perfectly safe.
My favorite animal - the three-banded armadillo!
Supper at Bob Evans! Mom and William scooted right after the zoo, since William doesn't do very well at restaurants- too much energy!
