That was a very long day on your feet Wendy and I bet a nice warm drink and feet up were very welcome on your arrival home! <br />It is a bit hard on you when that snow keeps on coming on, but keep smiling m'dear - it can't possible go on forever - it can't, can it?!!!<br /> Enjoy the rest of the break and I do hope you are able to get out and about some more, and find more happies in your travels! xxx JoyJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11753693250341975299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-51118316880715844522014-03-14T17:08:52.819-04:002014-03-14T17:08:52.819-04:00Despite the weather it sounds like you had a nice ...Despite the weather it sounds like you had a nice March break. I have no kids to take to the zoo, but we still love to go. Oddly enough we usually go in winter and concentrate on seeing the animals in the heated pavilions. I haven't seen the Arctic animals or the Pandas so maybe there is a new reason for a trip. Hope it warms up on the weekend as predicted!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-24321149578597105102014-03-14T16:59:49.540-04:002014-03-14T16:59:49.540-04:00The Toronto Zoo sounds very nice, I love the polar...The Toronto Zoo sounds very nice, I love the polar bear and the pretty Arctic Fox. Looks like a wonderful day with your son and his friend. I am beginning to wonder will the snow ever end.. We have had a few days of warm weather and they are calling for 3-6 inches of snow Sunday-Monday.. I hope they are wrong..Have a happy weekend!eileeninmdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070309645796725309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-3580853828112770452014-03-14T10:24:11.813-04:002014-03-14T10:24:11.813-04:00We've barely seen frost this winter, let alone...We've barely seen frost this winter, let alone snow ...

We normally have a break at this time too but our schools decided to push it back to mid-April this year, after state tests are taken. I think it's too late because they get out in the third week of May! They're going to lose a lot of kids before the year is out, it will be hard to focus. The zoo looks wonderful. Zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, etc., are my favorite places to go with my kids.Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-62735993032695028852014-03-13T18:49:59.394-04:002014-03-13T18:49:59.394-04:00The zoo sounded like a blast!

The museum sounds interesting and I am sure you will remember this visit with your son for a long time to come. I'd love to see a polar bear cub. He must be the cutest thing ever.
