the main attraction

I like to go to the zoo to see the animals. My children, however, like to go to the zoo to be the animals. Zach likes to run on the pathways like a gazelle or a cheetah. He's almost as fast as a cheetah as well. Today he especially enjoyed being a frog on the lily pads. He may have even let loose with a little ribbit or two.
He got really wild when he discovered that if he snuck his foot down between the lily pads it got wet! And then proceeded to do it over and over and over again.Sarah quite enjoyed her time as a spider.
Zach gave the life of a spider a go but decided against it after a few minutes.
He much preferred pushing the stroller through the hanging dividers, or running through the dividers, pacing back and forth, back and forth, a little bit like a tiger.
Sarah also enjoyed a short stint as a chicken in an egg, but since that required holding still for two seconds, she got bored and moved on.Zach, monkey that he is, also enjoyed himself climbing the stairs and hanging from the railings.
I considered leaving the little animals there in cages for all to come and enjoy but decided our house wouldn't be the zoo that it is without them.
