Pat and I had the privilege of taking my niece to the Detroit Zoo for the first time. We took Jordan and Harmony, our granddaughter, this past Sunday. It was a lot of fun! We saw some animals that we haven't seen in previous trips, explored areas that were until then unexplored, and paid a small fortune to ride the train.
What is up with that anyway? Do you know it cost the four of us $12 to ride the train from the back of the zoo to the front of the zoo; a one-way trip behind the zoo with no real sites to see! It just blew my mind. When we used to take all seven of our kids it was a mere 50 cents. That was just a few years ago, really. At today's rates it would have cost us $27 for a quick ride from the back to the front of the zoo! How on earth could we have justified doing that? I guess three dollars is the new fifty-cents! Sad...
Anyway, despite my sticker shock at the cost of the train ride, we had a spectacular time. See for yourself:

You did real good. Her smiles say it all.
The "who knows" picture looks like a Hippo...
FishHawk - Thanks...she did have a great time!
Mom - You know your zoo animals! It is indeed a hippo.
What great photos and so many wonderful memories for everyone.
Jude - Indeed! :o)
I love the zoo! The train is free at the Cleveland zoo. They have the ones that run to and from the parking lots and then have a couple that run inside the zoo too. The only one that costs $1 is the one that just circles around Australian Adventure.
Sure wish it was like that here! I can remember when it was a mere fifty cents, and that wasn't that long ago. Highway robber, train robbery, if you ask me!
