Going to the Zoo, zoo, zoo...

Monday, June 6th, Noah's Pre-K class took a field trip to Rochester's Seneca Park Zoo. I was able to ride the bus up with Noah, and Jeff & Norah rode up in the Jeep to meet us there - allowing us to all ride home together (AND being able to hit up a few stores: Target, and Wegmans on the way home!) Noah said his favorite animal was the rhino! (albeit, he was very disappointed that this zoo had no elephants! no giraffes! no pandas! ... I believe the elephant would have been his favorite) I was disappointed, too, but at least they are currently building a place to house elephants.Norah liked this bird... because... it's pink, of course.We had a staring contest with an emu...Noah was a lion...Norah was a lion...The other favorite of the day was the sea lions.It was pretty neat that you can watch them from "up top" or go inside the building & watch them from inside...I cracked up at all the "old" backdrops & such they had around... made for some funny pics. The kids enjoyed being penguins. The kids had fun - perfect for about 2-hours worth. Someday, we'll take the kids to a BIG zoo, that has all the animals. Kinda funny that Noah said one of his favorite parts of the day was that we took the kids out to eat at Applebees for the first time... it must be in the blood that we just aren't a "zoo-type" family.
