Kinder Zoo Trip

The week before Easter Colten's Kindergarten class took a field trip to the zoo. I was privileged to get to tag along (wink, wink)!!! It must have been "take your elementary school to the zoo" day because boy were there a TON of school groups. The five kindergarten classes went from Colten's school and each parent was assigned 3 to 4 kiddos. We teamed up in groups of two, so we had 6 kids all together. They were an EXCITED bunch!! We stayed a total of 4 hours and honestly sat down to eat for all of 20 minutes. Kindergartners have waaaay too much energy, especially when around other kindergartners. I have a whole new respect for you Kinder teachers!!! It was non-stop, but very fun to explore the zoo with our group. Colten's class has been beyond excellent this year!!!

I was completely exhausted by the end of the trip, but it was so much fun to see the zoo through thee eyes of kindergartners! Wish I could remember ALL the comments made, so hilarious...but one that stuck was "WOW look at that big rhino"..."yeah, and look at his big poop"!!! Ill just leave you with that...

(And a BIG thank you to Mom and Dad who came down to make sure the girls had just as much fun that day!!!)
