Saturday at the Zoo
Thursday, May 8th, 2008
We went to the Zoo last weekend and Eli had a great time. That’s what we had hoped for. It’s real easy to keep your kids at home and inside watching TV and cartoons, especially when that’s all they ask for. But you also want your children to have some sort of real life experince every now and then. We ended up getting a family membership to the Zoo so that we could just go and not have to worry about having to pay admission. That’s a big deal. It somehow makes it less of a special outing, and more of an option that you know is available ot you anytime you need it.
I hear more and more how Houstonians are pretty fortunate to live in the city that we do. Folks who live around downtown, like Northsiders, are even more so. We have easy access to parks, museums, libraries, sports stadiums, the Zoo…etcetera. All less than a ten minute drive away or a short trip on the bus or light rail. Whether or not you can afford the admissions and other fees is a different story, I guess.
