I got to go with Allie's class on their one and only filed trip to the zoo today. We were supposed to go a few weeks back but the swine flu cancelled the trip so I was glad we still got to do it. The kids were so excited to get to ride the bus since none of the We walked around with one of Allie's best friends who's mom teaches Kindergarten at their school, and then 3 other little girls and 2 other parents. The first thing we had to go see was this strange (nasty) little animal called a naked mole rat. Allie's teacher had told them about it and how she just loves it and had told them if they saw it they would get an extra ticket (they get these for doing something special). We also went in this one area where they have zoo staff that will tell you about different animals and let the kids put on little zoo keeper outfits. One of the guys was telling them about the snakes they had their and got one out of it's cage. I think it was a boa, but can not remember for sure but after he told the kids about it they each got to touch it. Allie was not to sure about it but I told he if I did it would she do it and she agreed. I got a shot of her touching it and was so proud she was so brave. We did not get to see all the animals but I think the girls had a great time and were worn out by the time we got home. I know a few of them fell asleep on the bus ride home. Heath worked from home that day so I did not have to worry about Austin.
Allie is the one right in the middle- sorry there are not more pics but they all have her classmates in them.
