John Ball Park Zoo

This morning we took the kids to John Ball Park Zoo in Grand Rapids. It was a great time to go because there was hardly anyone there, the weather was cool, and the animals were very active. Usually when we go to the zoo it is very hot and the animals are sleeping. Anyway, we had a great time. Kyle's favorite animal was the tiger, and Clara liked the turtles and fish. As usual, Clara (our timid one) was afraid of the bigger animals, such as the tiger and mountain lions. She didn't even like my favorite animal of the day - the tamarins, which look like baby monkeys. Oh well, at least I was there to protect her. I think Craig's favorite animal was the camel because he and Kyle got to go on a camel ride. Overall, it was a great morning and we left the zoo just as it started to get busy and hot.
