During the summer, I can have every other Monday off if I work an extra hour each day. Some days I wonder if it’s worth it because I don’t get home until around 7pm. I miss dinner with the kid and he’s typically in bed by 8 or 8:30pm leaving me very little time with him. But then the coveted day off rolls around and we do something like…
Meet a Yellow-knobbed Currasow (from South America).
Get an up close look at the amazing world of ants.
Marvel at polar bears while watching them catch fish.
Play with friends in a wild land of make believe as I reminiscence about my own childhood playing on the very same structures.
Take obligatory touristy photos with statues.
Splash in a fountain as I recall a similar scene from a year ago.
… and I know it’s all worth it.

Looks like so much fun. I plan to go this fall. Did you get to see the new children’s zoo? How was it?

Yes! LOVE the new children’s zoo! The kid would stay playing on the slide or under the giant ant statue all day if it were up to him!

It certainly looks like it was worth the time looking at the smiles in your photos.

SO FUN that the polar bears were out and playing! And I love the close up view of the ants. We haven’t been to the zoo in a long time and definitely need to get back there soon!
