It's school field trip season and this year Ben went with Noah's class and I went with Levi's.
Ben and Noah went to Tanganyika Wildlife Zoo in Wichita on a cold, windy and rainy day last week. This week I went with Levi on a hot and sunny day! This Kansas weather - you just never know what'll happen next!
Levi and his friend Betsy wanted to walk around the zoo together. So Betsy's mom and I followed them around! Sometimes their buddy Trey was with us, too. Betsy wanted me to take a picture of them at every animal statue we came to. I think I have about ten pictures of them on animal statues. :-)
We had a great time at the zoo. The weather wasn't too hot and the breeze helped to keep us cool.
The kids were excited about every animal they saw and were happy to feed these fish.
I was surprised (even if I shouldn't have been) and impressed with the never-ending energy the kindergartner's had.
Our group gathered together for a presentation by a zoo volunteer. She helped the kids learn about how they keep track of animals, even ones that seem to look exactly alike. It's always interesting to watch a class of kids sit and listen.
Levi asked me to take this photo...Betsy's enthusiasm for photos was rubbing off on him.
Then we loaded up on the bus and headed over to Botanica to eat our lunches and explore the Children's Garden. Just before playing in the garden, the kids learned about soil, and what a plant needs to grow.
The Children's Garden was a busy place with several other schools there on field trips too. It was quite warm in the garden (lots of trees made for no wind) but the kids didn't seem to notice.
They had a great time running from one area to the next, exploring every nook and cranny they could find.
Some kids got soaked at this fountain, but Levi just wanted to get his head wet.
Awww, that feels better!
These two goofballs had me laughing all day long.
It was fun to see Levi interact with his friends and get to know his classmates a bit better.
