During Makenna’s first year of school, I accompanied her class on a field trip to the zoo that is about an hour away from Clermont.  It was so nice that I knew I had to come back with Reese.  We decided to plan a trip there with 2 families that we love and have become “framily” here.

The zoo is up on a mountain and there’s a lot of uphill walking, but also some amazing views of the area.  We saw lions, giraffes, a zebra, monkeys, tigers, lemurs etc.  There was a section where you could walk through the lemurs and the kids loved it!  We even saw one climb onto someone’s stroller.  The zoo is so large that it takes about 4-5 hours to walk through the whole thing, so we had a picnic lunch while we were there.  Needless to say, the kids were so tired by the end that they took a nap on the way home.
