Zoo Field Trip

I got to chaperone Camden's field trip to the zoo. This was my first time going as a chaperone at the public school. It was a different experience since we had to ride on the bus with the kids, instead of driving them in our cars. And the bus was crowded(3 to a seat) with very little leg room. It was a long 45 minutes there because I was by the window. On the way back, I snagged an aisle seat and it was slightly more comfortable. The weather was cool, but not to bad with a coat and hat on. We were just happy that we didn't get rained on since it was pretty stormy looking that day.

Here is a picture of Camden's class. His teacher is quite short but he seems to really like her.

We got a nice close look at the lions as they napped near the glass.

And the polar bear was pretty close, too, lounging on the rocks near the glass. These were the 3 boys that I was in charge of for the day. They were well behaved and pretty easy to keep track of. The boy in the hat has become a good friend to Camden this year since they are in the same class and they are also on the same basketball team. Plus, they only live a few streets over from us in our neighborhood.

The only disappointment of the day was not being able to find the penguins, that one of the boys said they have at the zoo. I don't know where They would have been since we went in every section and building in the zoo.
