Zoo Field Trip

Ally is first grade which means zoo field trip. She was so excited to go. This is one field trip I make sure to volunteer to go on, I know I'm crazy but I just don't like the thought of my kids at the zoo with anyone other than me. I took Vanessa with me which proved to be as interesting as I thought it would be. She does not like to be in her stroller so I did a lot of chasing her as well as trying to keep track of four 1st graders.

Here are my girls.

They were such cute girls and were really well behaved the entire time. Ally took the map at the very beginning and decided she was in charge of telling us where to go, surprise, surprise!

We decided our route and were off to see all the animals.

The zoo is currently constructing a new exhibit for seals and polar bears so they have taken out quite a few animals. Many of the other animals were sleeping and my girls got bored. We decided to spend the last little bit of time we had at the playground where all the kids had tons of fun running and playing.

Ally started throwing a fit when it was time to leave because she didn't want to ride the bus home. After many tears, threats and bribes I finally convinced her to ride the bus back to the school. I received a call from the lady we carpool with because they couldn't find Ally after school. She heard that one of the buses broke down on the way home. I felt like the world's worst mom. My poor daughter didn't ride the bus and then it breaks down on the way home! Yep, that's my luck! I went down to the school to wait for the bus to get there. All the kids and teachers and parents that were on the buses looked very tired but all were okay. Thankfully it wasn't the bus Ally was on that broke down. The bus she was on went back to rescue the other kids which she thought was pretty cool. All in all it was a really fun day spent with my two girls and the cuties in Ally's class.
