Wildlife World Zoo Field Trip

We have a good friend in the ward that teaches preschool. Each spring she takes the kids on a field trip to the Wildlife World Zoo. It is such a great deal to get in that she invites pretty much anyone and we usually take her up on it.

This year, Nathan left work early (how sad is it that leaving at 8am is leaving early!?) and came with Matt, Ray and me to the zoo. We had a great time. The animals were pretty active when we got there--especially the monkeys. There were three gibbons that were making quite a ruckus. They were loud! The kids loved it.

Matthew liked to run ahead of us. One time he started running and a couple of peacocks flew from the roof down to the ground right in front of him. He stopped dead in his tracks and came running back to us. I wish that would have cured him of his need to run ahead, but it didn't.

Rachel had a good time, but she did not want to walk. We didn't take the stroller and tried to make her walk. She would just sit down in the dirt and cry, "I can't! I can't!" Luckily, we ran into Kelli and Joss and Joss didn't want to ride in her stroller so Rachel got to ride.

We had a great time and the weather was perfect. We can't wait for next year!
