I Zoo, Do You?

Sarah's cute little pre-school class went to the zoo for a year-end field trip last week. I wasn't planning on going, but the night before the trip Sarah started begging me to come. What mom could resist that? That morning was a whirlwind of running to the bank, accidently stealing the canister at the drive-up window, getting gas, forgetting to put the gas cap back on, going back for jackets, and then hurrying to catch up to the school van before we missed the turn-off for the zoo.

It was all worth it to be able to enjoy the day with my three little ones.

Sarah loved riding the school van with her classmates and then having Mommy at the zoo. She got to have her cake and eat it too!

Emma thought she was just another one of the pre-school kids. She followed the group and tried everything they did.

Andrew... well... he didn't quite enjoy being confined to the stroller and so there are no pictures of him this time. Sorry buddy!

Emma is in the pink shirt on the leftish middle. Sarah is the little head poking out on the tallest lion's back.

What a cheese!

Emma as she considers the best way to mount the giant lizard... I love the little boy in the front. He looks like the future "crocodile hunter"!

I can't believe she is getting so big - love that girl!
