Annika's field trip to the Zoo and Aquarium

In front of the zoo sitting on the polar bear.

Annika with her two teachers.  They are fabulous!

Gavin loving the goats.  Can you tell?!

Annika with her friends looking at the elephants.

We love the carousel!!  If Annika had her way, she would ride all day on each animal.  However, the zebra and bench were the only two this time.

Well, it wouldn't be a school field trip to the zoo without rain. Luckily, the rain lasted just for part of the day, and was very light. Being a Washingtonian, you can't let the rain stop the fun. So, I packed the kids, had the rain gear, and we had a wonderful time. The good news about the rain, is that the zoo was practically empty. The main groups of people we saw were from Annika's preschool. Annika's favorite part was the tiger and touching the starfish. You should have heard her reaction though when there was one fish tank lit up in purple to make the shrimp look more pink. She was elated! However, the group of boys she was with just didn't quite understand why the excitement. Gavin loved everything from touching the goats to seeing the fish and making elephant sounds at the two elephants. We ended the trip riding the carousel a couple of times ... and then the whining for more.
Of course today is beautiful with blue skies and warm weather. Oh, what to do ... I know! Doctor's appointment for the ultrasound! YAHOO!!!
