To the Zoo with Bubba

I got the opportunity to go with Bradley to the Zoo on the 4th of May.  This was a pretty special field trip, LOTS of parents come and we all get to just wander the Zoo in small groups and do whatever we want.  It was a lot of fun.  I was so worried that we were going to have crappy weather, but it was the nice day among some crummy ones, so we were lucky.  Brad let me sit by him and his friend Jackson on the bus.  Then he held my hand through the whole Zoo, made me feel really special :).

Here's his group.  We had a lot of fun together.  The other Mom in the group is the daughter-in-law of the couple who taught my Temple Prep class.  Pretty cool!  We were probably in the same ward at one time, but neither of us remembered the other, so maybe not.  Might have just missed her with the many times in and out of that ward.  She was nice, we had a lot of fun.  I think everyone's favorite part was watching the Gorilla eat his poop.  Yep.  Pretty disgusting right?  Yeah.  Well, the kids LOVED it!!  They couldn't get enough of it.  We literally sat there and watched him eat for about 20 minutes.  He would actually catch it as it fell out and then nibble on it and pick out the green stuff.... sorry that's probably tmi.  One of the kids was really funny though, as the Gorilla was bent over, bumb facing the glass, trying to push out some more food, the kid says, "Wait for it... wait for it...."  SO HILARIOUS!!!!!  Maybe it's because he's a kid, but it just made me laugh so hard!  I really couldn't stop laughing about it.... still makes me laugh just thinking about it.  So yeah, that's the exciting world of a Kindergartener.



I'm not sure why they've added Dinosaurs to the Zoo (Are the live animals not exciting enough??), but Brad thought it was cool.  I think it's lame, personally.



Gotta get a picture of him climbing on the Rhino.... this has become a classic...



We saw this family of Geese on our way to the playground.... SO CUTE!!!  NOT in captivity makes it even cuter.

Brad and the other kids in our group just ran around like a bunch of crazies at the playground.  It was really hard to keep track of them all!  They sure had fun though!  Brad's still eating his lunch since the pavillion made it too cold to eat, they rushed through lunch.\













One picture with Mom.....
Good times.  I love that Brad is such a fun kid to be with.  He follows the rules, and stays closeby.... just makes it really enjoyable for his Mom.  We had so much fun.
