What - Zoo America
Where: 201 Park Avenue
Hershey, PA
Who: Everyone
Our view: Zoo America is a Zoo that is literally right next to Hershey Park. It is an especially good zoo for young children with short attention spans because it is not that big. One can easily see the whole zoo in an hour or so. If you are looking for a animals, such as lions and tigers and elephants this is not the zoo for you. However, if you are interested in animals which are native to North America this is the place to go. The cost is reasonable too at $10.50 for ages 9-54, $8.50 for children 3-8 and seniors, and free for children 2 and under. With an admission to Hershey Park admission to the zoo is free on the same day. Annual memberships are $95.00 for families of up to 4 people or $15.00 extra per additional person and $40.00 for individuals. Membership also includes reciprocal admission to over 100 other zoos in the U.S. and Canada as well as $8.00 off a one day admission to Hershey Park during the year of your membership. The zoo also hold special events and older children might enjoy the behind-the-scenes tours. Behind-the-scenes tours are available before the zoo opens and after the zoo closes for $40.00 per person for ages 3 and over and may include such unique opportunities as being able to feed animals, touch animals and/or hold animals. Admission to a behind-the-scenes tours also includes regular admission to the zoo for that day. Zoo America is a great mid size zoo, as it is a bigger than a small local zoo, but a smaller than a large zoo, such as, the Bronx Zoo or San Diego Zoo.

Tips for Tuesday - TV Shows: Victorious & The Big Bang Theory
Me - Today I am recommending Victorious. It is a show about going to Hollywood Arts High School, a performing arts high school. There is Tori, the main character a singer and actress played by Victoria Justice. There's Tori's sister, Trina who is the weird untalented girl who people don't know why she got into Hollywood Arts. There is Robbie, the weird kid with the puppet who acts. The puppet, Rex, who makes fun of Robbie constantly about everything.
Mom - Today I am recommending The Big Bang Theory. I started watching it because of friend of ours, Melissa Rauch, got a one-time role as Bernadette, that later ended up turning into a regular role on the show. I continued watching it not only because Melissa was on it, but because it is really funny. Also, I like that the intelligence of the show. I like that for once its gives us the opportunity to laugh at people not because of how dumb they are but how smart they are.

Newspapers
Me -Newspapers, wow! My Mom gets the newspaper every day. I like to read the comics especially on Sunday when they are in color. My sister likes them too, but she can only read a little so we have to read them to her. I also like some of the puzzles. I like boggle where you make as many words as you can out of letters that are connected to each other. I also like the word search. I like sudoku. My Grandma likes suoduku too, but that is the only puzzle my Mom doesn't do. My Mom sometimes gives me some of the other puzzles too. She always has a big stack of puzzles because she does not have time to do them every day, but she cannot get herself to throw them out. My Grandma is the one who taught me sudoku. She is really good at math. She also likes to do boggle. My Grandfather likes to do crossword puzzles, jumbles, word searches, and cryptoquotes. He and my Aunt even do the crossword puzzle from the Sunday New York Times which is really hard. It would be really hard to do the puzzles on the computer because you can't write on it so I am glad we still get the paper. Also, without the newspaper, I wouldn't know which comics to look up on-line, and I really love the comics.
Mom - I know most people get their news on-line these days. I get news that way too, but I still like to get my newspaper ever day. My favorite parts of the paper are the entertainment, the sports and the comics. Some other things interest me too, but I never know what those will be until I see them. I like those interesting quirky things. Some of the types of articles I like I would not know to look for if I did not see them. When I am on-line I see some of these types of articles on my screen, but not all of them. I do not really have time to search for news on-line so I just go through things that come up on my home screen that interest me. It is easier for me to just read the newspaper and have it all there in front of me to skim through rather than having to search. Also, newspapers are getting smart and requiring you to have a subscription to have full access to their web-sites. I also like to do the puzzles in the paper. I do not know if there is way to do that on-line, but even if there is I prefer the old-fashioned way writing out the answers by hand on the paper. We also get the newspaper because my husband likes to look at the ads. While you can look up ads for various stores on-line, it is much more time consuming to go from web-site to web-site of the various stores than to just look at a stack of ads for all different stores one after the other. I like the coupons in the newspaper too. I can and do get coupons on-line as well, but I like that I do not have to search for the ones that come in my paper, they are just there for me. My girls love reading the color comics in the Sunday paper. I am not sure if there is a place on-line where you can get all the Sunday comics all in one place, but even if there is even my girls know, it is not the same as holding that color section in your hands and being able to spread it out on the floor in front of you to read it. I don't always have a chance to read the paper every day, but unless I have actually been away, I am neurotic about it and can't throw it out. Every day, I go through the paper and put aside what I want to read, and put the rest out in the recycling bin. At least once every other week before the recycling gets put out at the curb to be collected , if not more often, I read through those parts of the newspaper that I set aside. So even though I don't have a chance to read my paper every day, I like to have it there to read through when I have a chance without having to search for anything. Therefore, even though less and less people are subscribing to newspapers all the time, I will continue to subscribe.
And that's our view. Do you subscribe to any newspapers? Why or why not?
