Zoo day!


 After going to Laura's house for a couple days I surprised the kiddos yet again by going to the zoo (instead of home).  They were also surprised when they saw the Klick's come join us!  I'm sure a memory my kids will have of me will be all my surprises:). It was a pretty cold day but warmed up as the day went on.

 Observing the flamingos during mating season...apparently. Great lesson for science! After the flamingos we went into the aviary and had a super fun time identifying all the birds. This is usually not something that interests me but boy we had a great time hunting for them all! There were GORGEOUS bright red flamingo looking birds as well as blue chicken type birds with cute feathers on their heads that just kept us hunting for more of God's creativity.
 At first we didn't see many animals...except for squirrels, lol! But thankfully that soon changed and we were able to see gorillas, types of antelope, ostriches, giraffes, and more.

 Playground time!

We had such a great ending to our three day adventure and were able to do Math, English, and Spelling in the car so it counted as school days:)! Plus Science from the zoo:).
