Troy's class had their year end field trip scheduled to go to the zoo. He was so excited to go! When he brought home his permission slip, he just kept asking me if I would go with him. I took full advantage because I know before long he will be hoping that I don't go. Carter, lil' Clint and I meet him there. I also let Tanner sluff half a day from school to come with us. Troy was so happy to see all of us there waiting for him when he got off of the bus.
I just love the next two pictures...
Here they are waiting for the gigantic elephant to sneeze.
Check out Tanner's excited face:)
Ahhhhhhh-Chew!
Ewww Gross
Carter was a little skeptical to stick his head inside of the lion's mouth to get a drink!
Let me tell you a little about a day at the zoo with Carter. When we were sitting down eating our lunch, I got distracted talking to Clint on my cell and didn't notice him wonder off. Next thing I know I look over and see Carter climbing down the back side of a 12 foot fence. YES 12 Feet!! Not only was it tall but there were spikes on top of it. Seriously I think I had a mini heart attack! I yelled for him to climb back over which he did in all of 2 seconds. He definitely is a Spider Monkey! When he was safe on the ground next to me I told him that he could have been attacked by a bear or something. I forgot I still had Clint on the phone until I heard him laugh and ask "Did you really just tell your 5 year old that he would be attacked by a bear if he climbed over that fence again?" No words! I thought I got my point across to Carter until I caught him trying to climb some more fences to get a closer look at the monkeys. Later that night, while I was putting him to bed he said "Mom, I just want to work at the zoo liff (with) the animals when I grow up."
Tanner and Clint acting way to cool for a picture.
What good-lookin boys!
Troy~ I am so glad that I was able to go to the zoo with your class. It was so nice of Grandma Sue to help me out and watch Blakley. I wanted to spend some time with just my boys. You boys were so much fun to hang out with. I love you all so much! xoxo mom
