Potawatomi Zoo

We took the weekend to make a trip to the Potawatomi Zoo in South Bend.  We planned to drive down the night before so that we could get to the zoo early and have plenty of time there before anyone got tired or hungry.  The kids had a great time in the pool, staying in the hotel, and eating the hotel breakfast.  Then they had to hang out in the hotel lobby for three hours while I got a flat tire fixed.

But other than that (and Debbie did a great job keeping them entertained), the day went well.  They had fun at the zoo and even more fun at the playground next door (all the way through the zoo: "Can we go to the playground now?").  Ethan's shoes got wet at the hotel, were removed to dry, and then were forgotten, so he had to run barefoot through the zoo and the playground, but he didn't seem to mind (we remembered to pick them up on the way home).
