Zoo Field Trip



Alyssa's class traveled to the Zoo for their annual 2nd Grade Field Trip. Here is Lys trying to melt into the tropical fish exhibit. The girls enjoyed watching all of the fish and most especially the sharks.

Lys and her friends at the Polar Bear exhibit. The polar bear spent the afternoon lounging in the sun but the walruses sure made a show of things, swimming gracefully around and brushing up against the glass enclosure each time they turned around. The girls were mesmerized and watched them swimming for about ten minutes.

A quick break from the animals had the girls going rock climbing. It also gave me a chance to catch my breath because when they were on the move, the only way to go was fast.

After lunch, the kids teacher sat for some pictures of the group who had lunch together. Then it was on to see the penguins. Swimming and diving in the water made for lots of ohhs and ahhs from the girls.

And at the end of the day, all of the kids sat so all of us parents could get some group shots. Overall it was a perfect day for the zoo, clouds overhead and not to hot. We were lucky that it did not rain either.
