Abby's Zoo Field Trip

The same day that Nate's class went to the Bama Theatre, I tagged along with the 2nd graders to the Birmingham Zoo! Here was my loud awesome carload:

Erin, Cate, Abby, Lilou

Just some of the silly 2nd grade girls

The teachers gave us a lot of freedom on this field trip, and other than 1 seal show and 1 science lesson, we were free to roam the zoo. We stayed in groups of 4 and completed a scavenger hunt, which the kids loved!

Look! It's Daddy's twin!

We only crossed paths with Mia & Jonesy's class a few times.

Of all the animals, Abby loved the "cats" (aka bobcats) the best. She loved pacing with them back & forth.

Honorable mention: the coyotes. (Seriously!? What happened to elephants and giraffes!?)

Hanging out with Erin

Playing hide & seek in the bamboo

Abby used her own money to purchase Ellie the Elephant from the gift shop! (And some colorful geodes. I'm just glad she didn't pick out a stuffed coyote.)

We made it back to school just in time for dismissal. 

It was a long but fun day!
