zoo field trip

Today was Emmy's zoo field trip.

Jason and I were excited to both be able to tag along and chaperone.

We only had Emmy's little friend Daphne in our group so it made for an easy and enjoyable day.

We were able to explore the zoo on our own in small groups and have lunch on our own, but we still ran into friends throughout the day.

I think this was the first time Emmy was brave enough to feed the giraffes.

There were quite a few baby animals on this visit.

This little monkey and his sibling were the cutest things.  The glare makes him look a little funny, but his little brother/sister, was the cutest thing.  It was asleep curled up with a yoda stuffed animal.  

We had to drive to the zoo and meet the bus, but we were able to bring Emmy home with us.  She clearly had a fun and exhausting day!  

She woke up for ice cream though!

It was such a fun and special day with our favorite first grader.
