Jake's 1st Zoo visit

The Cleveland Zoo is actually pretty nice. We had been given a family membership as an X-mas gift the year prior, but we hadn't renewed it this year, so far. When I was looking at the website for days/hours/etc. I noticed that Mondays are FREE if you are a Cuyahoga County resident - and we are. So, today being Monday, we decided Jake needed to have his first Cleveland Zoo visit.

I am glad that we didn't buy a membership and that we got in free today. The main Zoo part is going under A LOT of renovations so there wasn't very much to see. We did manage to see the Lions, like Alex the Alex (Madagascar humor), Zebras, like Marty, (no Melman or Gloria though, again, Madagascar references), leopard, Condors, Rhinos, and Koalas. Oh, yeah, a few Kangaroos. but that was about it.

We did manage almost .75 of a mile walk around the zoo. Celie started to get a little cranky so we decided to head to lunch rather than try to do anymore at the zoo. The only thing that we missed was the primate area which was UP a HUGE hill. They are redoing that as well, so I wasn't really quite sure that we would see much anyway.

Here are some pics from today. Jake slept through most of his visit to the Zoo. That is o.k. At least we have pictures of him.
Here is the Lion & Lioness.


Persian Leopard. He came around to the front of the cage and was eying Celie & Anna as if they were lunch. Thank goodness for fences.
