Welp, the girls and I went to the zoo on Wednesday so John could work from home in peace. We had a great day! We learned that all the schools pretty much have field trips to the zoo between the hours of 10 - 130ish. There were sooooooooo many kids there!.
John has been teaching Presley her North, South, East, and West. And also how to read a map...so to her, that makes her our leader every time we go somewhere. When we got there, she got out the map and planned out our day.
1st on list was a ride on the monorail. I don't know why they like that thing so much...lots of it is in the sun and sooo hot! But they do...so we ride it every time! But on the way, Presley had to do her "zoo" pose in front of some flowers.
On the monorail. I love this pic of Presley!
Presley's favorite lizard...she gives it kisses every time. This time she accidentally touched her lips to it! GROSS!!!!!!! I sanitized her and Piper's mouth. Remember what Piper sees Piper does. And man o' mighty these kids move at the speed of light!
After kissing the lizard, snake, and ducks....we headed to the geology center and learned more stuff. Presley turned in some snails and gastropods and quartz and picked out some sand from Galveston with her points to bring home. Then we had lunch....YUM!
Then we went to another learning center there and got to do some finger painting and colored some butterflies. And Presley learned a little about tree snakes.
Then we fed the birds. This little guy wanted to go home with me. He would not get out of my bag for nothing! Then I'd hold him and he just wanted to be petted. So sweet!!!!
Presley adores the birds! Piper not so much yet....she still keeps some space between her and them. Since we were the only ones in there, the keepers brought out there gorgeous parrot ( that I didn't even get a pic of). Anyways, she would quack, meow, say hello, and do a bunch of stuff. That was really neat!

Then we stopped to play on the playground for a bit and headed to get an ice cream.
On the way out, Presley remembered that she wanted to ride in the nest on the carousel from the last trip to the zoo. So that is what they did.
Then we headed home. One day, we'll actually go visit some animals. It seems every time we go we kinda just hang out in the kid's area and play all day! Oh well....as long as the kids are having fun!

As long as they are having fun, not driving us crazy, and hopefully get worn out from their day!!
