Yesterday, I got to go with Tessa and about 100 other Kindergarten students to the zoo for their big Field Trip to the Hogle Zoo! Tessa has been so excited for this Field Trip. Like Adam, she was so excited to get to ride the bus. Gwen spent the day with Ma and I got to spend the day with my Tessa Boo.
On the bus and ready to go! She loved the bus ride up to the zoo, but hated the ride home. We both did. It was so bumpy. We both came home with horrible headaches.
We had a group of 4 girls. Tessa, Olivia, Holland and McKylie. For the most part, they were all pretty good. I didn't think there was anyone on earth slower or more distracted than Tessa. I was glad to find out that I was wrong. Little Holland has Tessa beat by a landslide!
As soon as we arrived at the zoo, we saw the wolf walking around. We stopped to look at it and it started howling at us. It was so cool!
Thankfully, my little group was up for lots of picture taking. They begged me to take their picture on every statue we passed.
Tessa and the "brown bears".
Checking out the Polar Bears and Seals.
We loved watching the elephants! We got there just in time to see the zoo keepers doing tricks with the baby elephant. We got to see her do a handstand on her trunk. The girls were amazed to see her eat a whole cantaloupe in one bite!
We loved watching the Gorilla too. He was just chowing down on some tasty cardboard.
They couldn't wait to get to the zoo and by the time we left, they couldn't wait to go home. I love the attention span of kids. It was fun to spend the day with them and watch Tessa be a good friend and leader. She was by far the most excited about all of the animals. It was nice to have a fun day together making some special memories.
