100th Post, with Tom & Dinosaur Hand!

Tom & Dinosaur Hand, review the Ft. Wayne Children's Zoo !!!Dinosaur Hand: Who wants to go to a Children's Zoo?!!! Let's go to the arcade and blow up hang gliders!

Tom: For one thing, it's called the children's zoo but it's for everyone, and it's big and full of trees and animals, and places to sit and eat, and

D.H: Look, a monkey!

D.H: Ack; flowers.

Tom: Sure; not only do we have giraffes and lions and all types of monkeys, there are a great variety of plants and trees...it's almost like a botanical garden, but not quite...that is downtown and is a great adventure in itself.
Tom: And this is the brand new exhibit, the African Veldt...there is a ski lift ride that goes over the top.
D.H: They're stripey!
D.H: Don't tell; more flowers. Yawn.
Tom: No! Smarty pants; the catalpa trees are blooming...aren't they pretty?

D.H: Yawn. Need more monkeys!

D.H: Ha, ha! Funny little flower head!

Tom: Be nice.
Tom: The Australian exhibit has a bat house and an aquarium...
...more jellyfish...
...and someone's kid sat in the pansies!
D.H: Sheesh! Flowers.
Tom: Wrong again; more blooms...I'm thinking these are horse chestnut...anybody know for sure?
D.H: What the...this thing is blue!

Tom: A peacock; every zoo has these; we even have a white peacock...he's a sight!

D.H: Now can we go to the arcade?

Tom: How 'bout i buy you a Blizzard and a rubber snake?

D.H: Yea; I love the Zoo!
