Field Trip to the Zoo

On Friday, I had the opportunity to be a volunteer and go with Austin's class on a field trip to the zoo. It was quite fun and I really enjoyed it. I haven't been to Hogle Zoo in a couple of years and they have made a lot of changes since I've been there. It was really nice. I was in charge of 4 kids. They were all really good. I got a little frustrated with the one boy because he kept running off but it was still fun. Here are a few pictures I took of our adventure. Austin's favorite part was the tigers.

My favorite picture of the Tiger. He was growling all over the place. I don't think he likes being behind a fence. He would have rather been where all the kids were watching. :)

The Tiger making his rounds.

Tiger watching all the kids. There were hundreds of kids there from all over!

I think the kids' favorite part was the Discovery playground. Here's Austin on the teeter totter.

I thought this picture was cute of all the kids. Top: Nicholas Bottom: Austin

Gorilla. He's so cute!! He was eating and watching the kids.

I thought these guys were really cute. Mommy Tortoise and baby Tortoise

My personal favorite, The Black Bear

I wanted to take a picture of Austin by the penguins but Brianna wanted her picture taken too.

We saw this wolf right as we got there.

This peacock was really pretty. It came right up to us but I wasn't able to get a close up picture because the other boy I was in charge of, scared it off.
