Do you know what’s cheaper than the zoo? The pet store.

No lines.

No crowds.

No overpriced concessions.

No long car ride to get there and back.

I probably enjoyed the reptiles, birds, ferrets, chinchillas, and rodents more than Amelia did, but she’s more and more observant by the day.The fish were a favorite.

And cat food in hand, we were back home in half an hour.
