Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens

My parents came to visit me this week. They left this morning, and the last thing my mom said out the window of the car as they drove down the street was "go write some blog posts" (or something like that). Kind of funny. It was fun to have them here, and now I'm bored. I wish they could have stayed longer.

One thing we saw this week was the Cincinnati Zoo. It's one of the top zoos in the country, and we enjoyed it. We spent 3 hours there looking at animals and flowers. They're having "Tulip Mania" currently. My dad and I took a lot of pictures of the flowers. The weather was perfect that day too.

One of my favorite exhibits was the gorillas because there was a baby (kind of an ugly baby, but still cute).

The polar bears were fun to watch too because one of them was swimming around in circles. He would do the exact same thing over and over. A lot of the animals paced back and forth in their cages. Especially the cats. My mom said that they're disturbed because they're in captivity. She feels sorry for them. :) I told her that zoos are good because they study animals and find out how to save them in the wild. I don't know if that's true, but it sounded good.
