Ok, I know that Stephanie was there but I don't see a picture of her. I think you need to let someone takes pictures too that way you are in them. But really nice pics..

Great to see the old zoo again through pictures. The retired train must be the one you and Doug rode on when you were kids. Glad you guys all had fun there.

I don't really miss much about Michigan, but oh, how I miss that Zoo!

Do you remember the elephant shaped keys that you could use to hear a story about the animal that you were looking at? They were colored keys-mine was red. I also miss the zoo. It was a special time to go there.

Everybody misses that zoo so much, I think we should plan a trip! And yes I do remember the elephant shaped keys! Mine was green. My favorite part of the Zoo was the bird house. It smelled so bad when you first walked in, it took your breath away, but after a minute or two, the smell seemed to disapear, and the birds and plants were beautiful! Now I have birds of my own, but nothing can surpass that bird house!
