Field Trip

I joined Ryland and all the kindergartners at his school for a field trip to the Dallas Zoo yesterday. It actually turned out to be a nice day. We were all a little concerned because it had rained all night and most of the morning. But it quit raining when we arrived and didn't start up again until we were loading up. Good timing. :) Ryland's class ended up with 5 parents plus the teacher so we each just had 3 kids to keep up with. My group and another group ended up together because we kept going to the same places. The boys had a great time. We did lots of walking but we did get to see everything there was to see. I went and ahead and took Ryland with me when the buses got back to the school. He crashed very quickly in the car. Poor thing was exhausted. It was a good day though.

The boys watching the monkey chase each other all around. It was fun to watch them go so fast.

The poor elephant was so sad. The other elephant had died the day before. Apparently elephants mourn the loss of their friends. He was just moping. I hope they find another elephant soon.
