Evan Thomas

My name is Evan Thomas. The picture that I chose to share today is a picture of my nephew at the Cincinnati Zoo, which is also in Avondale. I chose that picture because I think it's good for us that they have a lot of things out in the community to help out, for children to do, and just to get them to go out and see the animals. And it's close nearby. Taking them places and having a good time with them is always good for them

It gives them something to look forward to, something that stands out, has them going and seeing places, not just sitting around the house or outside. I mean, it's places to go where they can actually have a little fun and learn about nature and things. And I think that's important for a family to do together. When I'm with my nephew, we have something to talk about. Like, we went there and it's just a conversation starter just to just have a little conversation with the young ones.
