Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo

We had an wonderful trip to the zoo last Friday. Even though the weather was a little warm, the animals and Royal Subjects were well-behaved! Naturally we stood out in our glittery, golden and sparkley royal t-shirts, so we had to look and act spiffy.
In the morning we took a leisurely stroll to see the elephants, giraffes, jaguars and gorillas. But after lunch, we headed off to zoo school to use our 5 senses with the smaller creatures. We got to see and touch a chinchilla, snake, rabbit, turtle and hedgehog. (The hedgehog was adorable, but too prickley to touch.)
Thanks to our tireless chaperones who helped make the trip a success for all -- Jaidyn's dad, Mr. Johnnie; Janari's dad, Mr. Said; Ms. Kym, Andrew's mom; Ms. Angela, Lance's mom; Ms. Nickie, Skylar's mom and Ms. Amelia, Jamal's mom! We wouldn't have had such a blast without you!

Sporting our royal t-shirts and great smiles!

Janya checks out the giraffe and his loooooonnnnngggg tongue!

Janari is totally intent on learning about hedgehogs.

Jamal, Jordan, Jhi'Davien and Brian check out the snake.

No fear here!

Our zoo teacher, Ms. Vicki, assures Andrew that everything is cool about snakes.

Lance and Jaidyn take their turns checking out our slithery friend.

Jhi'Davien can't believe how soft a rabbit can be, but not as soft as the chinchilla!
