More web cam mania

Check it out! The Toledo Zoo has some web cams up. How exciting is that?

Also, an Alpaca Cam.

And the eagles have fledged!

Now, I really should be cleaning, so I'm going to wander back into the other room.

Lions and tigers and ... books?

The lions are now out at the Akron zoo. When I went last Saturday, the exhibit was still closed. My SIL works there, so she let us know they are out.

The zoo trip last Saturday was a blast. The Rubber City Book Posse took a field trip. We were able to give away somewhere around 70 books. My husband and I carted the free book wagon around. It was easier with the books in it than with the kids in it!

A trip to the Akron Zoo

This past weekend, we took a wonderful trip to the Akron Zoo. If it has been quite some time you've been there, it is certainly worth checking out. Kids seem to have a wonderful time there. There are many new exibits including the Komodo Kingdom building which has a room with a climbing wall. Just imagine how much the kids love that.

There is a bat exhibit. My husband was able to get a very nice piture of the little guys just hanging around. Pretty good for a picture through the glass.

The snow leopards were very amusing too. Watching them climb those rocks like nothing at all brings out all their beauty. They still look to me like cute, cuddly cats, but I wouldn't want to face one without the barrier between us.

My son found a statue of his favorite animal, the frog. I even got him to sit still long enough to get a decent picture of him. Isn't he just the sweetest little boy?


The best part about the Akron Zoo is that you can make a quick day trip there and not feel like you missed anything. You can take a slow pace and just let the kids run around and play.

Well, maybe the best part is that it doesn't take long for me to get there....
