A trip to the zoo.... ...through the eyes of your kids

Tweet

I took my kiddos to the zoo last week as a part of our Spring break activities. It has been a few years since we have gone. I have 4 little ones and I have been hesitant to take all four kids, but since my husband was able to take the day off we all went together. Once there, I really had a good time watching my kids look at all of the different animals. Their reactions to everything from the sleeping brown bear, the adorable monkeys, enormous hippos and the gorgeous tigers was something you cannot put into words. Even the giant pythons and the large bat exhibit(ick!!) was a wonder to my kids. My middle daughter was fascinated with everything and was trying to find a way to climb in to pet every animal.The 2 year-old twins wanted to know if the animal was a mommy or a baby and my son absolutely had to see the tigers!!If you asked them afterward, which exhibit was their favorite, it was hard for them to pick just one animal. Although, a full day at the zoo with four little ones was exhausting the excitement and enthusiasm they had for the animals was time and money well spent. I have always loved the zoo (personally I think the San Diego zoo is the best) but watching the kids have so much fun (and have so many questions still) about the animals makes the experience even better!! We are definitely going back!! Do you have any funny stories about the zoo? Did your kids react in a certain way to any animals?
