We've been in Beloit for almost a year and have yet to explore everything in the area. There are so many options here - more than Fairbanks - but they all involve at least a half hour drive to get there. City driving, too, which I'm still trying to get used to because city driving in Fairbanks is like country driving everywhere else.
Joshua loves zoos and aquariums, but he had already been to the Milwaukee Zoo the year before. I suggested we visit the Madison Zoo since we hadn't been there yet. The Madison Zoo is pretty popular among my group of friends because it's free but also because there is a huge playground in the middle of the park. A family could easily spend the whole day there and not see the same exhibit twice.
I'm amazed that this zoo is sustainable, simply because there is no admission cost. It must also get municipal or state funding to keep it going. Blythe and I both slipped them a twenty for admission.
The age difference between Josh and my boys meant that there were a couple times during the visit that either one or the other were uninterested in whatever we happened to be doing at that moment. Josh didn't care about the playgrounds and the boys didn't care about the monkeys.
They all, however, enjoyed the ice cream.
Blessed be.
