We’re heading out to the zoo this afternoon. Our time is limited, so we may return next week. Today we’re going to concentrate on two things:

1. Animals that live on mountains
2. Using a compass

I love going to the zoo, as do my children. We make it a point to buy the yearly zoo pass so we don’t have to keep paying every time we visit. With a family of seven, visiting the zoo twice costs more than the yearly pass! This pass also comes in handy when we travel, which isn’t as often as it once was. Just to give you an example of the zoos we’ve visited:

• Milwaukee Zoo
• Cleveland Metroparks Zoo
• Wichita Zoo
• Dallas/Ft. Worth Zoo
• Garden City Zoo
• Tulsa Zoo

There is often so much to see and do at the zoo, you just can’t do it all justice in one day! Contact your local zoo to see if they offer a yearly pass, then do the math. Pay once, then plan mini-getaways throughout the year and spend some quality time with your children!
