I'm Kaylah. thrifting queen. 
For Christmas I got some really great gifts but one of my favorites has to be a membership to the Cleveland Zoo! Kevin and I normally visit twice a year but this gets us free (or discounted) admission to a bunch of other zoos in every state too! I'm totally stoked!
We decided to break our passes in and hit up the Cleveland Zoo the first weekend in January. It rained a bit while we were there but it was a beautiful day none the less. I fell in love with the armadillos (how did I never notice how absolutely precious they are before?!) and the beaver (we shared a moment!) but my favorite photos are of the bears! There were four cute little cubs wresting, relaxing and just being silly. I had a really hard time choosing which photos of them to share...

Doesn't it look like he's saying something like "Hey, calm down man!" to the other one? Haha!!
Hope you're having a great Saturday!

Wow these are lovely! I love bears, but I hate how angry they are :( I'd like them to be nice to people sometimes but they never are. I suppose that it fair enough because they are wild animals, but still xx
ReplyDeleteStacey, I'm not sure if you're referring to bears in general or these ones but these guys are just cubs and were most definitely playing not being mean.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! Kisses

Those are some great pictures! Going to the zoo is one of my favorite things to do! I am from Cincinnati, and the zoo there is awesome if you ever get a chance to go. I don't live in Ohio anymore, and really regret not got to the Columbus or Cleveland zoo.
ReplyDeleteActually, (and maybe this shows my age) I see the little bear in the last photo like Farmer Ted in "Sixteen Candles" going, "Chill!"
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful gift. Glad you are enjoying it.

I love bears! So sweet. I like the second one; he looks like he's getting his daily exercise in! too funny.
ReplyDeleteOh such gorgeous animals! I was working as a volunteer in a shelder for bears and i had the chance to see them from really close (10m when sleeping, with 3 supervisors just in case! :D)
ReplyDeleteMy beauties!!

They're so cute! I've actually been to a place in North Carolina where they'd let you feed the bears. They were so cute, one of them would even dance for the food

OOOhhh those bears are soooo cute! I love going to zoo's too! Those moments when the animals make eye contact with you and don't seem like they want to eat you...those are priceless! I love catching them playing and doing what they do best. Its always the worst when you encounter whooping monkeys because they scream and scare you...but its also funny at the same time! I loved these photos...thanks for sharing! Hearts, Janna Lynn
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, ha! That's too funny. I might just have to make regular trips to our local zoo. I can't even remember the last time I've been. How horrible is that?! Thanks so much for sharing. I can't get over that last photo, haha!
ReplyDeleteI can 'bearly' stand how cute they are!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Have you seen the youtube video of the waving bear? I love bears!
ReplyDeleteThat second picture is hilarious - he had to know you were taking his picture with that great pose!

ReplyDeleteThat sounds like an amazing gift as well!
Oh, they are so cute! I loooove bears!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, picture 2 looks like a real life Little Bear illustration. So cute!
ReplyDeleteso adorable! if you're ever near omaha, ne you def. need to check out the omaha henry doorly zoo - you should be able to use your membership there too! and it's a great zoo!
ReplyDeleteOh those cubs are super adorable! That's one of my favorite things to do at the zoo, watch the baby animals play around.

ReplyDeleteThese photos are incredible ♥
ReplyDeleteCleveland! Interesting. I'm currently researching cities I'd like to move to, but don't know anything about Cleveland. What's it like? I'd like a city that's fairly laid-back, not too hot of weather, a pretty good theatre/art/music scene, decent cost-of-living, has Farmer's Markets, and has a pretty good public transportation/ walking options.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great gift, I would of loved getting something like that! I love the second one.. he looks like he's trying to model.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are so great! I miss having a zoo membership.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! Hope you have a wonderful year visiting all the zoo's around you!
ReplyDeleteI will try to visit two of the nearest zoo's in my area; one with some exotic animals like tigers and such, and one with just scandinavian animals (I live in Sweden).
Its too bad that all zoo's in Sweden are pretty small. But I could go there several times a year if I could! :D
Tee hee! Super cute - and great photos!!
ReplyDeleteso adorable
ReplyDeleteYay I love zoos too! Last summer I visited Europe's most ancient zoo in Vienna (Austria), it was really great!
ReplyDeleteNow my dream will be to go to Saint Petersburgh in Russia, where French architects are going to create a new awesome zoo in 2014 :D
Check the pictures! http://www.lecourrierdelarchitecte.com/article_1793
Your bear pics are great!
These are too precious!
ReplyDeleteIf only we could cuddle up with them without getting our heads bitten off.. But that's what cats are for! :)
Much love, Vivi
These are so cute! I keep meaning to go to the Zoo here in Tampa and this makes me really want to go now!

Great photos!
ReplyDeleteI used to have a zoo pass for our state zoo and it was amazing. The meerkats had pups during that time so I would go in every week to see how big and playful they were getting, my absolute favourite animal.
i have a zoo membership too, and i love it!
ReplyDeletewhen i was in elementary school we had an armadillo assembly for some reason! i don't remember what it was about, but I DO remember we got to pet them! it was so awesome!
those bear babies are so sweet! great photos of them!
I love zoos, and these pictures are adorable. I'm actually from Cleveland, so I would definitely recommend making a trip to the Columbus zoo as well, both are pretty spectacular.
ReplyDeleteamazing photos
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing photos! you have such a good way of capturing a creature's essence, I love it!

ReplyDeleteAw, so cute! I went to Adelaide Zoo (In Australia) today. We only have sun bears at the zoo here, but your pictures are amazing! I had a lot of trouble figuring out what pictures of mine to post, so I'm doing a 'zoo week'. I was lucky enough to do a 'hippo encounter' and meet the 2 hippos Adelaide zoo have!
ReplyDeleteZoo membership is sweet and these bears are adorable! :)
ReplyDeleteSo adorable!
ReplyDeleteI loooove going to the zoo. I try to visit the zoo in every state I visit (that has one).
