Although this summer was pretty crappy weather wise, we were still able to do a few things with the children. One thing that we did with them that impressed them quite a bit was we took them to the zoo. They had a great time looking at the animals and pretending to act like them. Their favorite of course was the monkeys and my youngest son spent the better part of the day acting like one. We try to take them to the zoo every summer. And even though they have seen these animals many, many times, they still enjoy going to zoo and seeing all the animals. Maybe next year we will be able to take them to a different one.
