Even though it’s been freezing cold for the past three weeks now, my kids have still all been begging me to go to the zoo.
I keep telling them that I think that the temperature outside is just too cold for us to go to the zoo, but they all keep begging me.
If you have a lot of kids, then you know how it is when they all gang up on you and try to ask you to do something that you don’t really want to do. I really feel like I am just sick of hearing about it and usually I cave in and do whatever it is that they want. I’m thinking about actually taking him to the zoo later on this week, even though the temperature is supposed to be in the 20s most of the week. We also have a lot of wind around here so it’s going to feel even colder than that if we go there. The really bad thing about going to the zoo in the winter is the fact that they don’t have very many places where you can go to get warmed up. If you go inside of some of the exhibits, of course they have furnaces running in there for the animals. But other than that, if you’re walking around outside, there are only a few areas where you can stand by a portable heating unit to warm your hands up. I guess we are just going to have to get bundled up and run our heating system in the car all the way there. Hopefully, we won’t get too cold and we will be able to stand it for a few hours.
