Field Trip to Henry Doorly Zoo





Last Thursday I went on a 4th grade field trip with Jordan to the zoo. It was better than expected but a tad cold outside. That didn't seem to bother the kids though. They all seemed to really enjoy themselves but it made for a long day when we left at 8am and didn't get back to Rockwell City until 7pm.


When we got to the zoo, we started off with lunch (which was outside in 45 degree weather). Then we broke into four groups and had a tour guide take us through the monkeys, apes, cats, and the pavillion. We lost a lot of interest there from the kids because our tour guide was a bit dull and took forever. Once that was over, we were on our own with our group for two hours. We got to go into the aquarium, the dessert dome, the jungle and the kingdom of the night. The kids like the last spot the best because it had alligators and bats in the dark. Once we were done at the zoo, we stopped off for an early supper at McDonald's and then headed home.


All in all, it was a pretty good day and I was happy to have spent the time with Jordan. And I want to thank Jeff, Dad, and Dawn for helping out and watching the other kids so I could go on this field trip.

No problem. I am glad you could go, too. Those were good pics and it looked like they were having fun.

Love,
