Field Trip

With the end of the school year brought a flurry of field trips for Andrew's class. (3 trips in 4 weeks!)  Bruce was able to attend one and so was I.  I don't have pictures from the trip Bruce chaperoned, which was to the Heritage Center (think village of yester year), but do have some from their last trip of 1st grade which was to the Children's museum & Como Zoo.
Visiting both the Children's museum & Como Zoo in one day made for a very busy day.

checking out the snakes & turtles

Gorilla! (the dark thing right behind them!)

 The zoo keepers had been in the Gorilla habitat hiding lettuce leaves, so we were able to watch the Gorilla's climb all over looking for the leaves, then sitting down to eat it.  It was amazing at how much lettuce they could hold, and how delicately it looked like they were grabbing it while eating.

Flamingos! (and a few ducks & geese)
