Tips for Trip to the Zoo?

MeredithRX @MeredithRX (117) • United States 6 May 07

MeredithRX The camera is a great idea. He tends to try to steal my digital one since we are a huge picture-taking family. That might be a good idea (and might save my camera for me!). Thanks!

MeredithRX Thank you! I have already planned to pack our double stroller (to save us the rental fee) and lunch is included with our field trip but I got the impression it was going to be a pitiful little lunch and we're scheduled to eat at 10! LOL! I'll definitely find...

MeredithRX I think they do have a petting area there for farm animals (if I remember correctly). That does seem like a great idea since my kids loved it at a festival we went to recently. Thanks!
