The kids have been anxious to visit the zoo this spring. We promised to take them some Friday after Dave got back from Haiti and this past Friday was our first opportunity.
We had talked with them about some different animals that they wanted to learn a little more about before we visited them at the zoo. So we did some research online, looked at pictures and videos, read books about elephants, komodo dragons, stingrays, bonnethead and nurse sharks, penguins, bats, orangutans, and tigers.
Kinsey's favorites were the 2 baby elephants, the baby girafee and the penguins. Jackson's favorite was petting the stingrays (over and over), seeing the bonnethead and nurse sharks in the tank with the stingrays, the Cheetah, and the Komodo Dragon (and other reptile friends in the "Snake House"). Kayleigh's favorite (or as best as we could tell) was the penguins. She kept pointing at them and waving hi! : ) She also really liked the ride on the train!! It was a beautiful day and the kids were awesome . . . so well behaved and excited to see all the animals they had learned about!! We will definitely be preparing for our trips to the zoo this way in the future . . . such an enjoyable day!!
