You'll see a running theme in my recent posts:  Air conditioning.  Whether natural coastal cooling or the artificial kind, it's July.  Stick me in a refrigerator please.

Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised when the Little Dictator passed on looking at the animals imprisoned outside at the Zoo, so he could play in the air conditioned Condor Rescue Zone.  If you are unfamiliar with The Condor Rescue Zone, it is a GREAT indoor play area.  To start with, it's simply an awesome place to run:

But, that's not all.  Your kid can wear a condor costume for pretend play, read nature books, play with plastic fruit, take a ranger backpack and explore, there are even "treasure hunts" where kids can search for the animals listed on the clipboard in the photo below...
