We were members for a few years when the kids were younger. (Side note: how crazy is it that the kids are old enough for me to use the phrase, "when the kids were younger"?) We probably went 50 to 60 times back then. But after awhile, it was time for swim class or ballet or soccer or baseball.
A crowded extra-curricular schedule is overrated. What's underrated is good old-fashioned family time on a weekend. (Having a weekend off from teaching helped.)

Of course, Jada was in seventh heaven once we got to the zebras. Aaron was a little crabby that we didn't get to see the lions. (A little TLC from his mommy soothed him just fine.) Amy was looking especially lovely in a summer dress, so I may have snuck in some smooching and hand-holding while the kids were having a run of the place.
In other words, everyone was happy. We'll be back for sure a lot over the next 364 for more days at least.
