On Saturday we went to the Akron zoo. We have been promising Casey all summer that we will go to the zoo. Saturday seemed like a good day since it was supposed to be a little on the cooler side. We got there shortly after opening hoping it would be less busy. The big attraction that we were all looking forward to seeing were the baby jaguars. Casey thought it was rather funny that they named one of the cubs Lebron. The way our route took us though we didn't end up seeing them until the end. We saw the lions, tigers, bears, snow leopards, and all kinds of other animals. The lions roared for us and the sloth bear gave us kisses on the window. We then walked through the farm area to see the goats, pig, and sheep. They weren't quite as interesting but Casey did find some crumbs on the ground and they ate out of his hand. Then it was in to view the relatively new jellyfish exhibit and climb the sea wall. They really liked the jellyfish and also spent quite a bit of time trying to climb the wall. Chelsea was glad for some time to crawl around too after being strapped in for an hour. The jaguars were last and then it was time to head out. Since it was about lunchtime, Ryan thought it would be a nice end to our family day by letting the kids stop at McDonalds for lunch. They were thrilled....that is all except Chelsea who wanted to go home to her bed! She did eventually make it there a little later than usual. Next time maybe we'll be a little more adventureous and head to the Cleveland Zoo. I really miss some of the animals like the monkeys, elephants, zebras, and kangaroos. But it was a fun family day anyway.
