Tale of a Day at the Zoo

Our middle child in kindergarten, went to the zoo with her class.

This is what she came home and told us that she did.

1. She saw a giraffe running.
2. She got to pet the giraffe.
3. She saw a lion, and an antelope, and a chimpanzee.
4. She saw a poisonous snake and you couldn't tap on the glass or it would hit it's head on glass and hurt itself.
5. She saw a big hairy spider and it got out of its cage, she picked it up and put it back.
6. She rode a rhinocerous.
7. She saw a baby elephant and it was this small (she held her hands about a foot off the ground), but the mommy was as big as ten daddies.
8. She saw a panther and it wanted to follow her so it jumped the fence and went with her through the zoo all day.
9. She saw penguins and it smelled really bad in there.
10. She saw a baby tiger, it was white and she got to pet and feed it. The food looked like dog food.
    
11. She saw a boa constrictor and he was green with black spots, she got to hold him, he was smooth.
12. Mommy forgot to pack her a lunch, so the school gave her a lunch with a ham sandwich, cheetos, and jelly candy. It was real good especially the jelly candy.
13. Someone had to carry her, because she was supposed to wear her tennis shoes and had on flip flops.
14. She went through the rain forest and got wet.
15. She had a good time.

She has a great imagination and had a wonderful day. Things had been hectic -- so Mommy forgot that she was even going to the zoo. I am so thankful for wonderful kindergarten teachers, that help me take care of her.

Cool thing that they do at her school -- the parents provide white t-shirts and the t-shirts are all painted exactly alike. That way they can keep better track of our babies. That is a great idea.

Oh yeah -- she said they all fell asleep on the bus trip back to the school and had to be woke up.

Got to love those field trips.
