The Zoo

Another Friday off, and how nice that I get to go with my youngest son and his class on their field trip to the Zoo! I love the Zoo! There were several other parents that went with so we were able to have groups of 2 students each. Their teacher prepared a sheet full of trivia questions and we were unleased to find the answers.

We found a HUGE tiger! He was rather skinny to be honest, but he was quite big. He's nibbling on a small piece of meat.

The pelicans were much larger that I remembered. You could also get MUCH closer to them than you use to be able to. They scared the boy that was with my son and I in our group.

I have a friend who LOVES peacocks and peacock colors. I had to snap a picture so she'd know I was thinking about her! HI Neila!!

There were some new baby meerkats and they were adorable! It was so fun the watch them play and wrestle around. The boys were laughing away.

This Mother Goose made her nest in a very strange location. She's right on the wall between the giraffe and the rhino. And you can get right up next to her. She didn't even flinch. I'll bet when those eggs hatch she'll be a bit more ornary!

A stop off at the petting zoo to see the little animals revealed some pretty hungry little goats. They were really craning their necks out to try and get some vittles.

It was a really fun trip! After the Zoo, we walked along the lake and snapped a few "class" pictures, which turned out great! Before heading back to school, we stopped at the new playground they built at the beach! The kids all had a great time. (So did Mom...)
