When our kids were very young, we got every penny's worth and more out of our yearly "zoo pass". In fact, I vaguely remember pushing a stroller through melting snow during one trip to the zoo, so desperate was I to get out of the house. We would get there right as they opened the gates (because by then we had been up for 4 or 5 hours) and walk around hoping the kids would not ask to enter the Pachyderm House AGAIN. But, alas, how can you visit the zoo without seeing a hippopotamus? Anyway, besides trying to avoid the Pachyderms (and of course the Dippin' Dots and Funnel Cake kiosks), there is little more satisfying than a trip to the zoo for parents of young children. Education AND entertainment -- how can you beat it?!!
We decided to include trips to the zoo in The First Adventures of Incredible You because zoo trips are such an essential, memorable part of childhood. We hope adding your favorite zoo to your personalized book will be a special reminder of teaching your children about animals (and why eating both Dippin' Dots and Funnel Cakes in the same day is not such a hot idea).
