Bucket List - Cleveland Metroparks Zoo

Having completed six out of thirteen summer bucket list items thus far, we seized the opportunity to check off number seven this past Monday.  The Cleveland Metro Parks Zoo is free on Mondays to all residents of Cuyahoga County, and we are fortunate to live in that very county.  So, taking advantage of both the cooler temps and free rates, we packed a lunch, applied some SPF and set off to enjoy a morning among the wild.  While we were unable to cover all of the grounds, we were able to appreciate several exhibits, take a train ride through the Australian Adventure, and get a good ol' fashion workout as we (and when I say "we," I mean my husband) heaved the double stroller up and down the zoo's hilly terrain.  Let's just say my braxton hicks contractions were notably present between viewing the animals, chasing after our own animal kingdom, and walking up the hills.   However, none of the minor inconveniences, sweat, or occasional pouts dampened our spirits, because of the FREE admission, which Jeff and I agreed made the whole trip worth the effort.





Our very own little Joey.
