Zoo Trip

Gerrit's Kindergarten class is going to the Fresno Zoo on a field trip at the end of May. I didn't know how Gerrit would do walking so much with his class that I decided to take him with some friends a couple weeks before and try it out. So Gerrit, Emma, Brendan, Ethan, Alexandrea, and Breanna along with the three moms went after school one day.

We saw the monkey's...just hanging around...



Gerrit fed a Giraffe some leaves...wow they have long tongues!


The kids brushed some goats, and tried not to step in the poop!

After about an hour and a half Gerrit started complaining that his legs were hurting and that he wanted to go home. So we decided that he gets to stay home the day of the field trip. The class will see far more than we did in the two hours that we were there and so they will be walking a whole lot more. Gerrit wasn't that excited about seeing the animals anyway so I am glad that we had this trial run.
