they’ll probably feed a giraffe or two.
They’ll learn just what it feels like to have sticky tongues on their tiny hands-
and that a Meerkat is being the lookout, when it stands.
They’ll watch the funny monkeys swinging from branch to branch-
and laugh at the penguins, doing a little dance.
They’ll learn that Peacocks do in fact fly, high enough to get in the trees-
and that most of us humans can only jump about as far, as fleas.
They may not remember all of the details years from now —
but, if you take a child to the zoo, they’re going to have so much fun with you.
**Except don’t go when it’s 90 degrees outside and melt, like we did! Where have you been adventuring to lately?

LOVE this real life take post on the classic!! You all are super cute and classy and what a fun fun day!! I used to love to take my boys to the zoo. You’f think they’d go now as teenagers? A mom can dream!!
I mean the fact that you rhymed this post is EVERYTHING! I agree with skipping it in the heat! xo, biana –BlovedBoston

Loved visiting the zoo as a kid! Looks like so much fun. It is so hot though. I confess to hiding indoors.

We have season passes to the zoo and it’s always a treat to go there. It seems I only go there when it’s super hot so we always need to get ice cream.
Thank you for hosting and hope you are having a fab week!

I just love the zoo! We haven’t been in a while, and agreed, way to hot! I like how you did this post with the rhyming or was that just how I read it? hmmm…
I love this little poem! So sweet. Beautiful photos!

This was such a cute post! I loved the pictures and little poem 🙂 We haven’t yet made it to the zoo this summer. I keep waiting for a cooler day and it hasn’t happened–it’s been super hot here too!
Such a cute post! Now that my boys are two, I should take them to the zoo, I bet they’d love it!

You’re right, they may not remember the specifics, but the funess, excitement and love they get from being with you is truly priceless!!
And melting temperatures mean ice cream, right??

Cute pictures! It looks like y’all had fun at the zoo!
My daughter went on a school trip to the zoo recently. She was so excited beforehand but when I collected her she seemed really deflated – she hadn’t realised there would be a fair amount of walking involved. I’m not sure what she was expecting! 🙂

That is a downfall, I ended up having to carry my kids most of the time! I was worn out, lol.
We did!
Thanks girl!
Me too! All those cute animals make you smile. 🙂
Thanks girl!
Summer is meant for ice cream!! 🙂
They would!!! 😀
I feel you! It was too hot the day we went, I wish we had saved it for a cooler day, but we still had a lot of fun.
Aw thank you!!
Every now and then I try to get crafty, haha! Thanks girl. 🙂
Thanks Amy!
The heat is definitely too much to handle this time of year, we had to rush a little because it was so hot.
That is so fun!! We have a really beautiful botanical garden in our area that I would love to get passes to.
I don’t blame you!!! It’s hot to begin with, but being pregnant in the heat is no joke! I remember when I was pregnant during the summer I hid inside all the time lol.
Ugh yes! The heat was terrible, but it was still fun! 🙂
I will definitely be checking it out! 🙂
So fun!! I love to watch them learn and explore.
Aw thank Jill!
Thanks girl!! I tried!
I can only imagine! I better get all my fun outing in while I can, the teens are on their way! haha!
Thanks Sheree!
Me too! 😀
