Not Quite What I Envisioned

When Mama said "sure, I'd love to go to the zoo with your school", she had in mind a nice, dry, maybe even sunny day at the end of May. But we woke up to some drizzles and it was pretty darn cold out there for it being almost June. It was a nice visit and thanks to another Mom at CJ's school, we got to meet with some of the elephant keepers and talk about how they might make improvements to their environment. The kids had put together some research and presented it to the staff. Then we were treated to a little show with the elephants doing some work to get their treats. After a quick lunch, we headed off in small groups so the children could see their special animals and take notes on them for more schoolwork. It was a fun day, but definitely too cold for Mama.
