We are trying to explore our new city. It's a bit of a novelty to the kids, the last big city we lived close to was Cincinnati, and how old were they when we left? Amarillo isn't a big city, it's a little city pretending to be a small town... we still liked it there. When we were in Coolville, we lived equidistant from Columbus, Ohio and Charleston, West Virginia... and close to a town called Parkersburg, West Virginia, and another one called Athens, Ohio. Which is where Nathanael was born, incidentally. Provo wasn't big but it was close to Salt Lake City. Indiana wasn't big but it was close to Pittsburgh. Not that we ever went to Pittsburgh if we could help it. We only lived there 9 months anyway. We went to Washington DC more often than we went to Pittsburgh.
ANYway. So 2 weeks ago the kids and I went to the zoo. The kids were great! Even though the zoo is large with a lot of walking (when we get a family pass we'll get the train add on...) there wasn't ONE complaint until we were almost back to the van. And that was just one kiddo.
So, just sharing pictures. I think my favorite part was the elephants and the zoo keeper telling us all the names, ages, and personalities of the 7 different elephants. The kids liked Nikita, the polar bear, but there were too many school groups when we got there to get a good look at him. They liked the otters and many of the other animals. Very different than the Amarillo Zoo.
Not impressed with the reptiles... we see more of a snake at home. Or at the pet store. The kids were very unimpressed. It was cool to see alligators. They were just as impressed with an awesome spiderweb as they were with the animals. We didn't get to see everything, so we are definitely planning to return soon.
