ZOO TIME!

Addison's class went on their first field trip to Hogal Zoo. What a cute group of kids. It was fun to watch how excited they were to go through the Zoo. When we arrived at the Zoo, Addie's teacher gave each group a paper with questions to fill out, as we made our way through out the Zoo. We had a lot of fun learning about all the different animals.

The day was a little chilly and rainy, but it didn't make any difference to Paisley. She was all bundled up, and ready to roll. It was a perfect field trip for me to help out with, since Paisley was able to come and participate.

It seems like every time we go to the Zoo one of the animals is doing something funny. Well this trip was no exception. We went to see the new baby elephant, and it was eating it's mommas poop. The kids were all freaking out, and laughing. Thankfully one of the workers at the Elephants saw what was going on, and came up to the children to explain why the baby was eating it's moms poop. FYI The baby eats it's moms poop every day once a day so that the baby can get bacteria in its tummy for digestion purposes. Ha ha Who knew!

Addison was in charge of taking all the pictures with my camera. She did a great job! 60 pics later. She was loving life!

What a fun day!
