Lions, Tigers, and Bears Oh My

Last Sunday we decided to take the day and head to the Fort Wayne Zoo. Since Daryl refuses to spend any time at our local zoo, we had to head out of town. We did the Indianapolis Zoo about 4 years ago and it was a good time even though it was hot. My husband and eldest child do not handle heat well so I wasn't sure what the day would be like but it ended up being great.
The kids had a great time. I am pretty sure we saw the entire zoo, though we were rushing that last part of it to beat closing time. We took a train ride, watched a sea lion feeding, Allison and Rachel rode ponies, and Allison had a kiss from a sea lion. The kids all did great, Tyler walked probably 90% of the time and there was only one moment of "it's a little on the hot side". The zoo has lots of shade which helped keep everyone happy.

They had a African area where you could take a safari ride, we opted to walk, but they had lots of animals that you could get a close up view of.

The train ride that we took, they also had a boat ride you could go on, but the kids opted for the train.

Lots of memories were made, it was a great day!
