Zoo Fun
Peter and I want to go to Tampa and take the girls to the Lowery Park Zoo like we did last year so we decided to get the Central FL Annual Zoo pass that will give us half off in Tampa and then free admission here in Sanford for a year from today. Since the weather was warming up and there was no rain in the forecast I figured this weekend would be a great one. Peter was helping friends move so I packed up the kids and we headed to the Central FL Zoo (in Sanford). The zoo is pretty small but they have a cool splash pad that you can use in the summer and nice little petting zoo that the kids love. We walked all around and saw all the animals and talked about how far Cougars can jump (30 feet) and where all the different kinds of snakes live. 
There were a few zoo workers out that had animals that the kids could touch and learn about. We went to all of those and then headed to the petting zoo. The girls got to feed the billy goats, cows, and sheep but ran out of food before they got to the llama. Javan was a great little boy and loved the snake and frog exhibits and he also enjoyed the billy goats because they jumped up on the fence when they wanted you to feed them. I tried to get Javan to feed one but he tried to eat the food himself instead. On the way out of the zoo they had a big poster set up with pictures of Mary the Elephant that passed away last week. 
The girls went and wrote, "I love you" on the board and looked at all the pictures that were posted. We had a good time here but I am looking forward to Lowery Park where they have the big animals like lions, tigers, and bears, oh my.

We love our zoo and the annual pass is well worth it, it pays for itself in just a few visits. It's great that you can get one that works at two zoos.
