Zoo Trip

Yesterday my daughters Second Grade class, along with the First Grade class, took a trip to our local zoo. In addition to all of the normal animals to see, right now they are also doing a big dinosaur exhibit, with large mechanical dinosaurs, that are really cool to look at.

It was a very nice day for such a trip also. It didn't rain, but it was a little cloudy, so that Florida Sun wasn't beating down on us all day, and the temperature was very nice for being outside and walking around all day.

This was the first time that I've been able to go on a field trip with my daughter, usually they are planned for times that conflict with my work schedule, so it was nice that I was able to go this time. We really did have a great day, and saw lots of animals. The Otters were out swimming, which they almost never are. In fact, you are usually pretty hard pressed to find the Otters, as they are well hidden away and sleeping I guess. Even the Crocodile came out and let us take a look at him, and he doesn't usually do that either.

Anyway, we had a lot of fun, and it was a great day. Going to the zoo is a lot of fun, and it's a lot of fun to see how much the kids enjoy it too.
