No school on Thursday or Friday, but we had a great trip to the zoo on Wednesday. It was a lot of fun to go through Amazonia and then forge out into the zoo. We broke up into two groups, the older kids with the younger teachers and the older teachers with the younger kids. It was a great day! The sun was out and the spring weather caused a lot of the animals to be out and about.
We saw the ground hogs, the wolves who gave a great showing, and then the birds of prey. They were all beautiful. Then we moved up to the giraffes and the zebras. I wish they would do something with that paddock. It's so barren - almost makes me sad. We wound our way through the peacocks making eyes at one another and then we went to the snake house and the dark room. The children were able to watch the bats and the other night creatures! We came out through the hippo's house.
We went to the children's petting zoo and out the other side to the goats and the donkeys. Then off toward the kangaroos and the kookaburra and the emus and then the camels and the wild horses.
We saw the tigers and the lions and ended up at the rhino who was very gracious and smiled at us. Then it was of through the goose lake and up the hill past the ostriches. It was a lovely day.
The children were sweet as sweet could be and there were no complaints. We headed over to the Newburgh park and had lunch. They ate everything and enjoyed playing on the Fortress of Fun.
The day ended with a full romp outside.
