Zoo trip

C's class trip to the zoo was last Friday and given the recent headline-making health scare, I sure am glad he got to go when he did since all out of district activities have been cancelled until May 11th at the earliest. The great thing about kindergarten is that all the parents are so gung ho to help and chaperon on field trips so I only had two little ones with me and my bff only had two with her as well so we were able to all be together.

The official first stop was the big cats but they weren't all that interested in having pictures taken but the bears were agreeable!

So were these two "cubs"

The zoo was so packed with kids from all over that it was not easy to find a spot to sit and have lunch so we grabbed an empty bench somewhere in the monkey area and made the best of it.

The reptile house, the boys were determined to make it in here before we had to leave...

Yuuuuck...

We met a few characters from the cast of "Finding Nemo" such as Nemo himself...

Dory...

Some jellyfish...

One of my personal favorites of the day...Ah, the meerkat, such publicity hogs...

C has an absolutely wonderful kindergarten teacher who is just starting out her teaching career and given her patience and kindness as well as a definite ability to think outside the box, she is a shining example of why we need more like her.

All the boys sat in a circle and went over the map of the zoo discussing all the places they went and animals they saw.
