Zoo Study

In conjunction with our trip to the zoo, we studied zoo animals.

Jenny got to be a zookeeper, feeding...

and washing the animals.

For monkey day, we went to Aunt Amy's house...

to visit her monkeys ;)

For bears we read the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears

then acted it out (several times).

We also took a polar bear/penguin bath with ice cubes. 

For birds we painted with feathers and had a feather race. 

Jenny has pretended to be a seal, frog and a baby monkey all week.

She has also gotten much braver at holding critters.  This is one of our 3 gecko "pets."

We found a toad and the cat found a skink while we were searching for snakes.

I have decided that moving to the music of Carnival of the Animals could be a full workout routine!

Zoo Trip

We decided to take a trip to the zoo while the weather was still bearable.

 Jenny enjoyed the fake animals as well as the real ones.

 It's amazing to think that this orangutan's arm span is that much bigger than Jonathan's.

 This meerkat wanted you to think he was watching for danger, when really he enjoys all of the attention of visitors.

We did lots of toting of the girls, even both at once! 

Jenny wanted to lay down next to the jaguar.

The playground renewed Jenny's energy even though the splash pad wasn't turned on.  

She shed her shoes at every available opportunity. 

Alexa's favorite part by far was the aquarium, she kept laughing and patting the glass.
