Matt was going to take the boys ice skating after mass today, but the open skate hours weren't good. So we decided to bundle up and go to the zoo. It was EMPTY!! The Columbus Zoo is one of the largest and best rated zoos in the country. But I guess when temps are only in the 20s, most people would rather stay warm at home. We really only did the inside exhibits: the aquarium (Luke is in a shark/sea monster phase), the manatees, the reptile house and the Asia house. But it was so much fun to have the place virtually to ourselves. I thought it was funny that the only other people we saw there were families with young boys like ours--"airing them out" as my mother would say. Check out these very rare pictures of an empty zoo!
This is the entrance where people are normally lined up to buy tickets.
Just inside the main gates.
Luke walking on the concrete "balance beam" back towards the nearly empty parking lot.
Behind Michael and Daddy you can see the other parking lot, normally full, with not a single car in it!

I loved going to the zoo on cold days when no one else was there. Looks like a blast.
