Either was I did it and off to the Toledo zoo we went. I had never been there and left a little disappointed. Several exhibits were closed or under construction, like the train, the seals, and the entire African Safari area (which was a bummer because before we left I asked Greta what animals she wanted to see and she said the giraffes.)
A ride on the carousel - Greta on the zebra and Lola and I holding on to her. (Really no seat belts - yikes)
Also there were lots of interesting people there. Would have made a great day for sitting and people watching. Definitely in Ohio - haha!
A few observations
1. People on cell phones think they have the right away because they aren't paying attention. Excuse me - I am pushing a huge stroller and can't get out of the way that easily. So pay attention!
2. Kids should never be put on a leash. There I said it.
3. Parent should have to take a test before they are allowed to leave the hospital with a newborn. I saw a baby in a stroller with a burb cloth literally on his or her face covering the sun. How the heck could they breath? Not all that well.
4. Swearing at a 1 year old isn't called for.
5. Kids with good manners is the cutest thing to me and makes me hopeful for our society. Like saying excuse me when they'd like to see the animals.
6. Tube tops and tight pants should not be worn in public. Ever!
7. Dress your kids appropriately for the zoo - you know there will be walking so put them in walking shoes. Saw one poor girl complaining of blisters before the first animals.
So there you have it, my day at the zoo (the real one not just my everyday like -lol).
