Sydney is ready to go!
Brooke is ready to go!!!
I took this from really far away. Kaylee didn't know that we were also going to the zoo.
Kaylee discovering Mom and Brooke are at the zoo also. She made this face and ran off.
Feeding the ducks:
Sydney trying to escape:
Kaylee decided to claim us at this point (about 10 minutes later). She said, "Miss Julie, my mom is here!!!"
Kaylee's class checking out the turtles:
Cheese!!!
Kaylee was really worried about the huge turtle in this aquarium. "Miss Julie, look, he is stuck!"
We bought crackers to feed the animals. We fed the ducks and the turtles, but Brooke couldn't restrain herself. While we were in the aquarium section, she decided to partake of the crackers (don't worry...they are edible... just regular rye crackers). She wasn't real sure it was ok to eat the animals' crackers: this is her guilty face:
This is Ali. She is from Mexico and is learning to speak better English. She is a sweetie.
Brooke always fanoogles her way into the class. She fit right in (notice she is still munching on the crackers):
Kaylee was off to eat lunch and Brooke wanted to go with her, but I finally talked her into finishing our zoo trip.
This monkey cracks me up. He always comes up to the window and smashes his nose against it and watches everything we do. He was really checking out Brooke's cracker and Sydney's bottle.
And finally, our favorite: feeding the giraffes. Luckily, we had some crackers that Brooke hadn't devoured yet. We emptied our cracker package and finished up our zoo trip with a quick look at the zebras.
This one is for Mammy. Too bad there is a chain link fence behind him and a sidewalk under him. Almost looks real (I mean really "out in the wild" real).
