Kindergarten Field Trip to the Zoo


Ryan's Kindergarten class went on a field trip to the San Diego Zoo. Everyone of the boys has been on the same field trip when they were in Kindergarten, and I always bring the younger sibling along.

The weather was absolutely gorgeous, and could not have been more perfect for a day at the zoo.










This was our group, and I somehow hadn't notice until looking at this picture that Ryan was the only boy. (It doesn't seem to be bothering him!) This was right outside the polar bear exhibit.

A cute couple near the flamingoes, when you first come into the zoo...don't they look like little tourists? :) They're both wearing 'San Diego Zoo' hats from previous trips to the zoo.










The kids are actually standing on a bridge, looking at the ducks and flamingoes. Right after I took this, a mother duck swam out from under their feet(!) with 4 or 5 baby ducklings, all about 2 1/2" in length, from the tip of their bill to their tail. They were absolutely darling!

Kate was a good little trouper, and asked to walk quite a bit. We were there for 5 1/2 hours, and when we left, Kate was asleep in her carseat, before we even got on the freeway (1/4 mile away!)
