In the End--Zoo Trip

"In the end we will conserve only what we love.  We will love only what we understand.  We will understand only what we are taught."  ~~Baba Dioum the WILD BUNCH   Braelyn Grace decided that the zoo was a great destination for a Sunday afternoon.  In 98 degree weather we ventured out.   Prior to the trip we told the girls that to get an ice cream they must ask properly in Spanish.  We aslo took the time to learn many of the animal names in Spanish.   the poop paper cards-when you care enough to send . . . well poop! We actually saved money by becoming friends of the zoo and we look forward to many more trips this year.  We can easily use the informational plaques to teach geography as well as tons of science. beautiful rain collection barrels! The park just outside the zoo has a great new play area with several large covered structures for the kiddos.  We took a picnic dinner/snack but the heat was a little much. vimos: osos monos serpientes leones jirafas caimanes Flamigo patos cerdos pollos Goates y muchos más animales en el zoológico de hoy!
