Staycation number two this year is over and complete. While the kids were sick for half of it, we were able to have a little fun too. I wanted to share some pictures from the Akron Zoo and Canal days which takes place down in Magnolia.
The Akron Zoo is small enough that I felt safe taking the kids by myself but big enough to get the kids excited about all the animals.
We saw penguins.
And acted like baby chicks in this huge birds nest.
We saw some sleepy bears.
And fed some goats and lambs. This was the kids favorite part! Four crackers for two bucks and the kids went wild. There were baby goats and big goats which scared Marlee a little. She warmed up though and everyone was able to eat some crackers.... even Nicky.
We also saw a 'mommy and daddy' lion as well as explored in the aquarium.
Last we saw some flamingos which were Marlees favorite! They were pink! So she bought a stuffed flamingo at the end. Nicky did not want anything... both kids were pretty tired at this point.
On Sunday, we went down to Canal Days with the family. They have a parade and a small carnival if you will. The Tozzi's are always the best and served pizza and root beer floats for after the parade. The kids had a blast all day!
Marlee and Nick were loaded up with candy from the parade. I did not get any pictures of Marlee dancing but you can check out the video at my YouTube page. Seriously cute stuff.
We had the best week together. Not even rain and sickness was able to hold us back!
I love making memories with my family.
