Zoo

Bryson had a preschool field trip to the zoo a couple weeks ago. It was the perfect day for hanging out outside. The weather was great. It started out with a puppet show about farm animals. Sorry no pictures.

Next came the carousel. Bryson loved it but Austin took some convincing. Once I pointed out the mirror and started making silly faces he relaxed and had a better time.

The "train" came next. The kids loved riding around looking at all the animals. To be honest so did I. This a my prefered method of travel at the zoo.

Bryson was afraid to put his back towards these animals. He was scared they were going to come get him while he was not looking.

Our zoo buddies.

Bryson, Brayden, Kaitlyn, Tatum, and Austin

Lots and lots of tractors to play on.

Could you imagine being the same height as a turkey? Austin kept pointing at the turkey and saying "Ouch"

"The Sting Rays were okay the water was a blast" - Austin

Bryson would not even touch the water.

When you go to the zoo what is one of the most boring creatures there? The Tortises, right? They never do anything but just sit there. If you are lucky you might get to see them walk around. Well....

Yes they are doing exactly what you think. The crowd that formed to watch this was amazing. These two had the biggest audience in the whole zoo. One lady actually video taped it and said she was going to put it on you tube. One more thing, I did not know that Tortises could make noises. Trust me they can!!!!

Oh, we love the zoo... though we have never enjoyed the turtle experiences, too bad, or maybe lucky for us. I love Austins faces!

We came home just the other day and our cats were on top of our neaighbors car having a little too much fun to say the least. Thats when the questions start rolling. Nature provides so many teaching moments that maybe we are not quite ready for. Very funny though.
