• Yesterday, my family and I went to the National Zoo and Aquarium to visit the new Snow Cubs and the other animals.
  In the morning, when we got to the Zoo and Aquarium there was a great big line, so we had to wait awhile to get in.
  After we entered the zoo, we went straight to the enclosure for the Snow Cubs. My brother and I were so excited to see them. They were so cute and playful.
