Ice Skating & the Zoo

The kids had free admission for ice skating thanks to the summer reading program and really wanted to go with Joel. Eliana was going to skate, but then decided against it once we got there. It was probably a little crowded for her first time.


They loved watching the Zamboni.


We also went to the zoo for a couple of hours. We hadn't been in a while so it was neat to see the changes. The new tiger house looks like it's going to be nice once it's finished.

One thing that amazes me is how much the kids enjoy the big over-fed fish. They can just sit and watch them and you have to drag them away to go see the other animals.


The penguins were being fed while we were there and the zookeeper was telling us all about them. We had recently watched the "March of the Penguins" but the penguins at our zoo are not the same as those in the movie - the ones in the movie wouldn't be able to handle our heat!
