Zoo!

Brennan's teacher asked me if I would help her out and chaperone a last minute field trip to the zoo.  I have to be honest.  I do not love the zoo.  In fact, I sort of dread the zoo.  But I adore Brennan's teacher and of course, I love the excitement the zoo promises my own boys and so, off to the zoo we went!

Griffin was thrilled to be my co-chaperone and hang with the older kids.  The highlight for everyone was the lion taking a nap right against the glass of the lion exhibit.  He was so close you felt like you could reach out and touch him.  The other highlight was the baboons who decided to entertain the kids with some R rated action the minute we stepped in front of the habitat.  Ah, good times.  And of course, visiting the new baby polar bears who entertained us with their antics with a soccer ball was a highlight.  The baby polar bears were really adorable and the kids were fascinated with them.
