We were notified on Monday that we were scheduled for a power outage from 9am-3pm today so that the electric company could replace several poles on our line. Rather than hang out in the house without heat again we decided it would be a great day to have a field trip to the zoo.
The IMAX Theater is currently showing Sharks 3D so we made plans to view that. It would have been great to have been able to follow Sharks up with a trip through the aquarium; but unfortunately the aquarium is currently undergoing renovation so we didn’t get to go through it today. So instead we went through the Desert Dome and the Lied Jungle (which were warm and cozy on this cold winter day.)
It is always so enjoyable to visit the zoo during the winter as there are very few people around. It is so nice to not feel rushed when we are looking at the exhibits! While we were going through the desert, I was snapping pictures of the kids and one of the zoo keepers came by. She was so kind to offer to take my picture with the kids. So sweet! In all our trips to the zoo, I think this may be the first picture that I am actually in.
Do you make winter trips to the zoo?
Blessings,
Jennifer

Hello Jennifer,
I never thought about going to the zoo in winter. What a GREAT idea. I don’t like crowds. Sorry to hear about the scheduled power out and the resulting zero heat, but on the bright side it was scheduled so it was coming back on eventually. Thanks so much for sharing such a great idea and for linking up to The Farmgirl Friday blog hop. That family photo is fantastic!
