    Always check your bags after visiting the ZOO!

    especially if you have kids!!
    Yesterday my sister and her family - my parents and my cousin and her husband went to the Columbus Zoo.

    My sister said its a good thing it wasn't her kid that did it b/c she doesn't check backpacks for like a week! aacck!
    I wonder if they'll ever go back to THAT zoo??? I wonder if they'll be allowed to?

    uhh
