the weekend

It was surprisingly great.

Friday was the field trip to the zoo, "It's almost like a day off, mommy." And although it was rainy, the girls, Maya, Erin, Megan, and Madison had a whole bunch of fun. We saw all kinds of owls and monkeys, seals and penguins.

Then, we rode the zebra train around the zoo and saw more animals, tiger, llama, camels, cheetah and a lot more. One would go, "Look, ducks!" and everybody else would go, "Ducks! Ducks!"

It was time for the birds of prey show. Ms. D, asked us chaperones not to miss this as they have been studying the birds. On the show was, a gray owl, a falcon, and an american bald eagle. It was cool how they let the birds fly just inches over our heads.

Last stop, the farm barn. Here they can feed and pet the goats. Being the little girls that they are, everybody went to the kids and started picking them up. Megan wanted to pick one up but she doesn't know how to. Maya showed her how but the goat just kept wriggling.

We got back to the base and went to the police week show. She had her face painted, fingers printed and picture taken. They had a K9 unit demo, that was awesome. I miss Chewbacca.

On to her school's Art Show. We got her yearbook, too. The picture is taken in front of her class' display. Hers is the first one on the second row from the bottom.

And that was Friday. Saturday was karate, after which we went to go watch "Ice Princess". Then, Sunday, we watched "Star Wars".

That should make up for all the days I haven't posted here. Also, clicking on the thumbnails will take you to a bigger photo.
