Going to the Zoo, zoo, zoo, zoo!

So we headed to the Zoo today for a field trip with Emily's school. Emily was so excited to see us meet her at the zoo with her class. The sad thing is we lost her class within the first 10 minutes of being there as she had to make a potty break and of the three directions they could have gone we pick the wrong one...never did run into the teacher or students again. She was very sad as she was so excited to do this with her teacher but she did get over it. We were there for 6 hours...thats right 6 hours that is a long time to be at the zoo. We saw almost all of the exhibits. They had a blast. Both of them did so good. Cooper did pretty well spotting the animals. If he couldn't find them and we would show him a picture from the map (if there was one) and most of the time he was then able to spot them out.

Cooper waiting for sister to get off the bus...until we found out we were waiting it the wrong gate and had to pack up and drive to the north gate...details ;)


Feeding the birds!

This picture turned out neat it looks like they are holding fins.

The wild animals in the cage where they belong ;-)

In the right place at the right time. Up close with a peacock!

Emily was so excited when we told her she could have a face painting. So pretty!

She did so well and sat so still.

Finished with the "flowers" sparkles and all. We did this forgetting that we were going to get their passports after the zoo. I guess we will get them tomorrow.

Except for loosing her class at the beginning we all had a great time. The kids were sad to leave. We ended the night with some fun swimming and eating out on the deck. and we are ready for tomorrow; another busy day. We are getting set up at the "Y" for working out I am at 10 and Tony will go in at 1 and we can hopefully get a little workout while we are getting set up. Kids will be getting their passports in the afternoon so we can head to Canada this summer with my parents.

Oh and braided hair is awesome for little girls with really curly hair. She absolutely loves not having to comb her hair out every morning!!
