visit a zoo

Went to Edinburgh zoo. Also years ago when I was very young went to Bristol zoo, although I don’t remember that.

Part of my summer plans with my friends. Going to be a blast! I haven’t been there in a long time, so I’m really looking forward to it.

Additionally, I am trying my best to have a really fun summer this year. I don’t feel like I’ve had a lot of fun over the last couple of years, ever since university started. 2009 has overall been a good year for me so far. It feels like it’s going to be my year. So I’m letting this wave of optimism take my summmer to greater heights than I’ve ever gone before. =)

The kids and I go to the Phoenix Zoo regularly when it’s cooler. It’s a great place to take walks and just relax.

I’ve seen strange animals that I have never seen before. It is much better than reading about them in books or seeing them on TV.

I’ve been to quite a few zoos. A couple in Minnesota. One in Idaho. One in Florida. And the most recent one was in Missouri. I love watching the animals and taking their pictures.

in the summer to the Milwaukee Zoo.

Growing up we actually used to live near the Birmingham Zoo. So we would go almost every week and at night when it was quiet you could sit in our front yard and hear the lions roaring. That was my favorite part…...I miss that actually.

but not fun for the animals. I’m not a huge zoo person. I’ve been to the Bronx Zoo and the San Diego Zoo though.

I love seeing the animals and I know that zoos are one of the only ways to protect the endangered species and ensure that they don’t become extinct but its still hard when I know that in the wild some of these animals would have miles of territory and they have such small enclosures. I’ve always wished I could have been rich so I could buy tons of land somewhere and give those animals at least a little more space.

I’m a sucker for anything educational in the way of an outing, and zoos are right at the top of the list for me. The best one I’ve ever been to is Brookfield Zoo in Chicago. If you’re ever in the Windy City be sure to check it out!
