Zoo Trip

Emma had her 1st grade field trip on Tuesday, and we went to the NC Zoo. Todd, Leah and myself followed the charter bus to Asheboro, and had the best time. Emma was so excited to ride on a big bus that had a bathroom on it. They watched movies and had a great time on the bus. She rode home with us in the van. They watched movies in the van, but I don't think it was as exciting. Before we went into the Zoo we ate a picnic lunch in the parking lot of the Zoo. I got this great picture of Todd and the girls. Once we got into the Zoo, we only had about 2 hours to visit the animals. We had to kinda rush Emma along. Her little legs were really tired. Todd did carry her on his shoulders some. Of course, I was the only one allowed to push Leah in the stroller. She didn't want anyone else to have that job. Lucky me, I got to push the stroller up all those hills. It didn't hurt me to bad. I needed the exercise. We saw lots of animals, and when we left I asked each of them what was there favorite animal. Emma said the flamingos, and Leah said the elephants. I thought I would post a picture of there favorite ones. They had saved their money that they got from Papa Red and MeMe for Easter to take to the Zoo for a "prize". Emma got an eraser, multicolor writing pen, and a ring. Leah picked out a hat, and a cup with a giraffe for the handle. It was a great day, and everyone was quite tired when we got back home.
