We visited Mitchell Zoo, a wonderful little free zoo and park in Independence. As we entered the zoo, we saw what's called "Monkey Island". It is a neat castle-like stone housing for monkeys that was built in 1932. Miss Able, the first space monkey was born in this zoo in 1957 and went up in the capsule of a NASA Jupiter Rocket in 1959. We really enjoyed all the birds, ducks, and swans. There was a large owl and eagle and we saw a bobcat, turtles, wallaby, python, llamas, ostrich, peacock, emus, and buffalo! The park itself had wonderful playgrounds and a really neat train. We made fun little mini-videos with the train and Humpty Dumpty to send to Adler to share this little zoo and park with him.
