End-of-Year Zoo Field Trip

Yesterday was the preschool's annual end-of-year field trip to the zoo. This year they read the Parrot Tico Tango, and showed the kids blue frogs; a rainbow boa constrictor, which they could touch if they wanted to; and a double yellow parrot. The latter is so named because he's got yellow on the front and back of his head.

Ms Stephanie let M play with her cell phone.

Unlike in previous years, Drew took the whole day off, so he didn't have to rush back to work afterwards and we were able to wander out into the main part of the zoo. We saw the new polar bear exhibit, which he was very active swimming laps in his enclosure; ran into two families we know from church; had a snack; played on the playground; and saw the Sumatran tigers. We had originally planned to have lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant downtown, but by the time we got there the place was packed with the business lunch crowd, bad timing on our part, so we had Chik-Fil-A.
