My friend, Stephanie, agreed to watch Benjamin for me (she has a daughter Ben's age) while I went to the zoo with Emmalee.
After we got to the zoo, we ate our lunches (Emmalee trying to open her fruit snacks).
The kids (18 of them) were all paired up, and 11 adults were also there to keep an eye on this very active bunch of kindergarteners.
The Australian Outback--wallaby's & emus.
Emmalee--watch out! He might bite off your head!
Good thing she got a drink BEFORE she actually saw the real lions.
This day (Thursday, May 12, 2011) was the first warm day we have had since last fall. No jacket needed and about 70 degrees. So the animals were either out sunning themselves, or they were too warm (already) & in the shade trying to stay cool.
At first Emmalee didn't want to sit on this lion--but I went over & touched it head & her "buddy" sat on it, so she climbed on too.
The zebras. Some of the animals were not in their homes yet, "due to cold weather". We found this humorous since it was so sunny & warm.
Emmalee's class.
Me & Emmalee at the end of the day.
The bus trip home--don't you love how the little boy is peeking over the seat!
Snacking on an apple on the way home.

Looks like a fun day at the zoo!
The zoo is always fun! Hogle Zoo just added some real-life robotic dinosaurs...I'm thinking we need to go on a field trip soon!
