Field Trip!!!

Little Miss A & Mr D had their FIRST school field trip today!!! The highlight..."riding a real school bus!!!" When we got to school this morning and saw the regular buses, at the door (as always) they both said "there's our bus!" They both immediately walked over (with the "big kids" still on board waiting to get off) and tried to get on. They were soooo ready to go!

I am SO glad I was able to take a half day off to join in the fun and ride the bus with them. Our destination...the zoo!!! A place we've been so many times before, but boy this trip was seen in a whole new light just because of the transportation on the way!!!

A's favorite part of the zoo was feeding the goats and deer. Once our bag of animal food was gone, she began finding every piece of hay she could get her hands on, laughing all the while, just as content as could be.

D's favorite part of the zoo was his mission to collect as many feathers as possible. Our local Austin Zoo is filled with free roaming peacocks, roosters and even a few chickens. He was in a race with his classmates to collect the most feathers. Leaving the park with only one was definitely a challenge, but he picked the biggest one so that made it somewhat okay. :)

After spending only 3 hours at the zoo, our ride home wasn't nearly as exciting. The kids crashed in no time flat. (Surprise, surprise, right?)

It was truly a GREAT day!
