Last week we skipped out on our Montessori day in order to take a "field trip" to the zoo! Due to the heat/humidity we hadn't been since early summer and I wanted the boys to have one last time enjoying the splash park there before it closed for the season.
Checking out the giraffes:
Fun on a rhino sculpture:
Admiring Arki, our zoo's polar bear - we were hoping to see Quannik, the new baby polar bear who has become quite famous, but she was not out for viewing at that time. I found out the other week through the zoo's facebook page that we'll be receiving *another* young polar bear this fall - yay!
The splash park was great - not crowded at all and the perfect spot for a mama to sit in the shade while her boys played:
Short Pants will be taking a 3-part series of "experiencing animals" classes at the zoo for homeschoolers this fall. While he's in his class Pita Pocket and I will explore and play. More fun at the zoo for all of us!
