First field trip

Today, Zachary got to accompany the Highly Gifted kids from my school on a field trip to the H G Learning Center...and boy did he have fun! (Of course, I forgot the camera...again, WHAT kind of mother AM I?)

He enjoyed "walking" around, petting the stuffed cougar, and playing with another little boy (4 years old) who came along as well.

Lucky we had such a fun morning, because this afternoon, he got a flu shot. Not as much fun as the field trip, but he barely cried, and then we went to the zoo to meet daddy for a quick tour. The animals are loving this gorgeous autumn weather as much as we are, because we saw some monkeys who were very active, an Andean Condor up close and personal, the camel, the sloth bear (in a hilarious pose...but me with no camera--tho this time it was just in the car), the tigers chasing each other and soaking in their pool, ocelots soaking up the sun, the bobcat "stalking" a zoo person, and prairie dogs dogging around. It was a lovely day, all in all.
