We have a beautiful zoo and the yearly membership is a good deal, 2 or 3 trips and that baby would be paid for. And I love a good deal, I would probably be there every week. Just the thought if it makes me sweat. I fully understand the educational factor of a zoo, so we go once a year. That is all I can take.

Confessions of a Mom
I hate the zoo. Perhaps hate is a strong word, but I really dislike it. Why you ask? It could be the act of pulling a wagon over miles of hilly terrain (sounds kind of pioneerish, except my children don't walk). Or maybe it's the countless times my kiddies run off to be raised by the monkeys? It could be my fear of E. coli.

Yet another sacrifice I made for my children - truck day. The park and rec puts on quite a show, gathering a wide variety of vehicles and letting the kids climb in them. They even get to honk the horn. Just in case you are curious about which horn is the loudest, oddly enough, it's the utility truck. Chad tried it out several times. We will go again next year, I'll just take Tylenol before we go, as a preventive measure.

I don't mind the zoo too much. The trick for me is if you have the membership(which we don't but had once in the past) when you go, you don't feel like to you have to see everything to get you're money's worth. So we would go until the kids and eye started getting tired and then leave. Then next time we saw what we missed. On the same note, my kids do like to walk and if I had to pull a wagon with three kids all over the zoo I would probably do what you do and not go very often.
Just think, school's about to start and Sam won't be asking to be entertained anytime soon.
I'm totally with you on the zoo... it's such a pain... and I think it's more the stress of going than actually being there... there are all the what ifs and making sure you have enough of this and that and the other and blah blah blah... and then you get there and everyone is hot and sweaty and tired of walking... ugh... I only go if I have to.
