The trip flew by very fast, we arrived at the zoo around 10:30am but had to meet for lunch at 12:30pm. We left rich after. The purpose of the trip was to see the animals that the students had researched. It was actually a great idea. For the young authors project, the 2nd
grade studnents researched an animal through the Internet and library books. They had to take notes on notecards and write 4 chapters, habit, appearance, diet, and interesting facts.
Back to the zoo, by the time we got inside, we had 30 min before the dolphin show so we went to oceans and touched the sharks and saw other ocean animals. Then we went through the desert exhibit.
Zach chose to research the eel. We actually were able to get some nice pictures!
There was an extemely comical walrus there too! He made some of the funnies faces.
The boys reluctantly posed for my pictures, thanks boys!
After the amazing dolphin show, we had 30 minutes to hit the rest of the zoo, particularly the plains where Collin's animal was, the lion. Of course the clouds that had looked as if they could pour at any moment, waited until the exact time that we were without shelter! We trudged along anyways. The lion's were not very cooperative though and did not come ip close for picures. We got to see the new baby elephant and baby bear though.
