H's class took a field trip to the zoo! They made dinosaur t-shirts a couple of weeks ago so they would all be matching, H was "Harrisaurus." He was so excited, and would tell me every day that he needed to wear his dinosaur t-shirt and bring a lunch. And, of course, ride the bus! The bus is still exciting, but not quite as exciting as it was for their first field trip in the fall.
The first animal sighting was the flamingo! The kids were so excited, and were standing like the flamingos and flapping their "wings" when the flamingos flapped theirs.
All of the kids. (This was two preK 4 classes combined.)
This was my favorite. So beautiful! It did spread its wings out, and the kids loved that.
This was one of H's favorites. He counted them all (there were about 9) and noted what they were eating. The girls were all well behaved, but we really had to watch some of the boys to make sure they didn't stick their fingers or any sticks into the cages, or hit the cage/tank walls, etc. Thankfully H wasn't among that group... The differences between boys and girls....
H was also very interested to see the Bald Eagles. He has an Eagle puppet, and sees a lot of them flying around the roads (in the form of vultures).
Resting on the rock.
The kids started out great, but after about an hour or more of walking in the hot sun, they were all asking when it was lunch time, when we could go, etc. They were tired and worn out!
There was some of this on the way home. He said "Mama, can you carry me home? I'm too tired to carry my legs!" He was one tired little boy, but loved seeing all of the animals, and is already making plans for us to bring C for a visit!
Sunshine selfies at the zoo!
H and his buddies!
Karly is his best friend and they are super goofy together!
