Busy weekend

I have not been to a zoo in a long time but I do love them. We don't have a zoo close by. I do have many pictures though that my daughter has taken from the Ft.Worth zoo and a zoo in Waco, both in Texas. A few years ago I did go to Fossil Rim up close to where my daughter lives, a friend her two boys, my grandson and I went. It is really a good place to go. You drive through and the animals are out and about, you can also buy food for them and feed them out the window.

It certainly sounds like you have had a great weekend The last time I was at the Zoo was with my Kids about 14 years ago lol When my Daughter was here a few weeks back to visit me we where going to go but the Weather was not good enough so we didn't I am hoping that she will get time of work again to come and see me before we go into Winter and then we will go lol

The como zoo is great I just miss the polar bears. The kids will love going to the zoo with you guys.

I went to the zoo last summer. My kids are due for another trip this summer but hours at my job are getting to me. I'm working too much and I don't have a lot of time left over. But if I didn't work my bills wouldn't get paid. It's a vicious cycle. Family day has to be planned soon!!

That sounds like a wonderful weekend! I haven't been to a zoo for decades and I really want to head up to the Columbus zoo, it was a fantastic place as I remember it. I know Mom would love to do that, too. We need to get out and do something. Most of my weekend was spent working, either writing or taking care of the yard. I need to get out and have some fun!

Ours is almost always family oriented weekends. It's just the three of us here in Alabama. All our family live in other states. This weekend we were going hiking but got rained out so went to a movie instead. We saw Hancock. I love taking pictures of animals and flowers. I always have my camera when we go hiking. We tried to go to a zoo on our Gatlinburg trip but it was a rain forest zoo and instead of having the snakes all in one place, they said they were everywhere throughout the zoo. I am deathly afraid of snakes, so much so that I can't even watch them on television. I told my husband and son that they could go ahead and view the zoo but they didn't want to do it without me. I'm the zoo person in the family anyway..lol. We want to go to the Knoxville zoo one of these months when we go with the hubby for his class in Nashville. We can zip over there after the class is done. That's the plan anyway.

You be sure to get more pics of that conservatory, in case I missed seeing any of it. I just spent time with hubby this weekend and that is all that I did. We went to a nearby lake for a little bit last night.

That sounds like it is right up my alley. All my weekends seem to be family-filled weekends- My daughter is 11 :) We went to Marineland and saw all the dolphins, whales, and they even have Black Bears... it was cool- We go to the Rochester Zoo each summer- at least twice a summer- My daughter still loves it. We will have to plan another trip there- it's not free though- there is nothing like that here that is free- I wish there was.

You know, I don't remember the last time I went to a zoo, probably around 15 years. Hold, a hockey team might count as a zoo? What do you think?

Hello Grandpa Bob! We went to the Cape May Zoo when we were down at the beach last month. It's a nice zoo and it's free. We probably hit some sort of zoo, usually Philly, about once a year- I know we should go more. This weekend was family oriented for me. We took the kids fishing and they had quite a good time. Then we had a really nice lunch (no, we didn't eat the fish!). It was so blasting hot we went to a very nice, air conditioned restaurant.

I think you're an awesome grandfather grandpa Bob!! You're creating wonderful memories for your grandkids to tell their kids when they grow up. That is fantastic!! I have such wonderful memories of my mom's parents and will cherish them till the day I leave this earth!! The only regret I have is I never got around to recording my grandmothers stories of her childhood days. Please, record your voice for the kids to hear when they're older. It'll be the best gift you could ever give!! Trust me on that!

Hmmm Sound good and it seems u have nice time at zoo, i wonder how u forgot to take ur camera this time? i think u r getting Old BOB, LOL, but glad u r going coming week end too, so dont forget to have nice shhot for us Well i have been to Zooo since last many many year, but may be next month i take my kids there, he is going to be 3 in August Take care

hi grandpa bob sounds like you had a lovely time visiting with your neice and her boyfriend and her two kid. You know we have a free zoo in Santa Ana just a bus ride away and I have not'been there in years.I always loved goingto the zoo. I have been such a stick in the mud lately with these darned shingles, I just did not want to get dressed and go anywhere as clothes rub on all my sore spots. but I must go see the zoo again as they have expanded it a bit over the last couple of years. my weekend was for the pits as I saw my doctor and he gave me a prescription to get rid of the last of the shingles.well went to get it filled and they had to order it so cannot get it until this afternoon. darn.so I am mylotting until time to calll access for a cab and get my medication. lol happy postings back at you.

I haven't been to a zoo in years. The closest one to us is in florida so i don't see us going anytime soon.

Sounds like fun! This past weekend we set up at the Tupelo Flea Market (about 50 miles from here). Not a whole lot of fun but my husband needed to get some sales. Besides we got to eat at a couple of good restaurants. I have not been to the zoo in about 4 yrs. The closest zoo is Memphis and its a pretty nice zoo. I love to go there but my husband doesn't seem interested. He travels all week on his job so he wants to rest on the weekend. Mom gets tired of doing that much walking too. Maybe when it gets cooler I can talk them into going.

Sounds like a great weekend AGB! Are we going to the zoo and conservatory when i come across? I had a mixed weekend, with my eldest away we had my foster niece Friday and Saturday and then on Sunday my youngest went to stay at my sisters so it got very quiet - blissfully so! lol xxx

I like relax weekend.

hello friend, it is funny with a lot of families to go to zoo.I did go there with my families several months ago at a weekend.And there are really many curious animals i never saw before.I stil remember it is really a busy but interesting weelend i spent.we really had a ball there. lol Good luck, happy every day.

My son is here now. He shows up quite often on the weekends. He lives about two hours away. I haven't been to the zoo in forever. Originally I am from just outside a big city where the zoo was a short 30 min. drive. Now I have to drive across the state to go to one. As for family, we are very close, always together. We don't usually go places just visit and eat together! An I always forget my camera too!

I haven't been to the Zoo many years.Becase i have to put my attention on my study.The last time i went to Zoo was six years ago.On my memory,it was my father took me to the Zoo.When i saw the animals,i became very happy.Although it has gone many years,I can also remember it as it was happened yesterday!Now,I can take my time to go to the Zoo.Becase this year,I have graduated from High School,the study pressure on me is less than ever!This summer,I think I will have a very meaningfull holiday!
