The 2nd graders got to take a field trip to the Zoo this year. (and Ava was able to join us). Cristian said, and I quote, "This was the best field trip ever!" He got to ride the bus for the first time, ever. (just one way, because he rode home with me after the field trip :). We really did have a great time, and the weather was so pleasant. Each parent was in charge of 3 kids (and I had Cristian, Ava, and one other little boy). My friend Lana and I buddied up, and went around the zoo together with our groups. Here are the 6 kids together at the entrance.

We are used to saying peacocks at the zoo, but it's pretty rare that we see one with its feathers fanned out.

He was so cute to watch!

It looks like you had an awesome field trip to the zoo! That picture where you said you thought it was a badger...I'm pretty sure you are right...I should know for sure, being that it is our state animal and all, but fortunately I have never run into one...they are MEAN! Glad the kids had so much fun and Cristian enjoyed his "best field trip ever!"
