Trip to the Zoo The Lion King is my daughter’s favorite movie to watch. It has been on repeat for weeks on end now. David and I decided it was time to plan a family trip to the Toledo Zoo. A visit to the zoo would be an exciting and thrilling way to let her see and interact with all the animals she loves within the movie.

More often than not‚ my shirt ended up wearing a liberal dose of my meal. Once‚ I tried cooking Spaghetti Bolognese at school.
