Zoo Day

Today was Zoo Field Trip Day with Callan's class. Thankfully, Nommie was able to come down and keep Cruz so that I could go. With the new regulations you have to have FBI clearance to be able to help with these kind of events. They made special arrangements for other parents who wanted to go (they signed their kids out and took them to the zoo). Since I have "Level 3 Clearance" I was able to help and walk around the zoo with 3 boys. One being my own little monkey. The boys had a blast and only asked for lunch and a drink 543 times.

I love Callan's personality on days like this. He knew what he wanted to wear (muscle shirt) and there was no convincing him otherwise. He was on a mission and asked for his map as soon as they unloaded the bus. (UH OH... GANDIE) The boys were okay with my prompting them to skip the Unseen World and come back to it since the other 17 bus loads of kids were currently trying to see all that is unseen. I did not get to stop and take many pictures because we were on a mission... not sure we ever completed that mission but it was fun none-the-less.

Here is him posing with a giraffe that looks like one of the trees in the background. I love giraffe's. There is just something about them that amaze me.

I finally broke down and bought all the boys some nectar in the Lorakeet Landing. I had reached my begging limit and broke. Thankfully it was for the $1 nectar and not the $5.75 Icee. It was a strech getting it to them in the trees, but they did good. I personally do not like birds and was putting on my brave face for the boys. There is just something about birds... that really give me the creeps. Callan with the Lemur. Not sure why he chose to take a picture with the lemur. Maybe because it was the first good exhibit that did not already have a classroom full of kids standing in front of it. There is just something about Lemur's... not sure what it is, but I am sure there is something.
