This past weekend, I went to visit one of my close friends in Cleveland and see my God-sons, and I spent the extended weekend with them. While I was there we filled our weekend with family friendly activities, most of the time.
The first night, her and I went out on the town while her husband watched the boys. We went to a festival that the casino was putting on outside on the square. The festival was not what we were expecting at all so we weren't there long, but we did manage to drab a few beers before we decided to leave.
After leaving, we grabbed dinner at a little pub, hit up the casino for a little while, and finished the night off by stopping at a few bars on the way to the train to go to the house.
Saturday we got up and tried to decide what to do that we could include the entire family with. The Cleveland Zoo was what the oldest boy thought would be fun, so that's what we did. We packed lunch, sunscreen, stroller, and got in the car for a day at the zoo.
Monkeys



Some Otters in their den

Flamingos, that decided they weren't going to be friends for whatever reason. They were all picking and attacking this one poor bird.

Poison Dart Frog, which looks pretty awesome!

Fish and such,



This poor little fella only has one eye

Meerkats

Fierce jungle cat

This fella spotted a tasty treat just past his reach

What he was watching, these fawn were not part of the exhibit. They just happened to wander through the wooded area

Red Pandas are so adorable

The Australia portion of the zoo was pretty interesting, but I like kangaroos and dingos and didgeridoos so I guess I'm partial

This Dingo looked so cute that I literally said that I want to have one for a pet

There was a three story tree house that had a "Snake Slide" that Korbin, the oldest boy, insisted that I had to go through with him.

The lookout point of the tree house
Sunday we went to Huntington Beach for a few hours.

I was told that Mitchell's Ice Cream is the best I'd ever get to try, so I had to try it. I got a Turtle Sunday

I had a great time, it was a nice weekend away.
