A PERFECT DAY FOR THE ZOO!


Turtle Back Zoo is a beautiful zoo not far from our home. We have a season’s membership and if there’s anything I have to do—it’s make sure we get our money’s worth out of it. Of course I don’t have to force the kids to go…they’d go everyday if they could…it’s just finding the time to go there. I think we’ve gone 3 times so far. We need to hit another 2 more times in August to make the season’s pass worth its value. So like I said, today’s the perfect day for the zoo.

Sometimes it feels like we live in a zoo. Trying to keep the house clean, trying to find our way through the craziness, trying to keep everyone fed and happy. Regardless of our zoo atmosphere I do love our animals here at the Deyo Zoo. Have you ever wondered if your children were animals which ones they would be? I have and this is what’s in season right now. Graceann the Ox. She’s a strong girl who never seems to get tired. She’s a pitcher for a local town and she can pitch so fast and her batteries seem to last forever. As a growing pre-teen she can eat like an ox too—and not seem to gain any weight (wish I had her metabolism). She’s one of the most beautiful ox existing in the world today…and we have her in our zoo.

Then we have Caroline the Cheetah. She is fast. She can run, run, run. I would have to say she takes after her dad in that department because I would be known as the sloth. Cheetahs’ are just beautiful animals with their piercing eyes and amazing skin…and Caroline is no exception.

Then we have Pauline the Flamingo in a breathtaking shade of pink (her favorite color of course). There’s something dainty and elegant about the way they stand on one leg so effortlessly—which would no doubt be Pauline.

Gemma is a most special Panda Bear. You just look at the eyes and you melt. Needless to say this Panda Bear has us wrapped around her little finger. You just want to give her a tight squeeze and get the same back—a nice bear hug.

Rebecca is our favorite monkey. She can jump from table to chair to couch in seconds. She’s so loveable and friendly with the most welcome smile.

Maybe we don’t need to go to the zoo afterall…we have it right here. Definitely my money’s worth!
