Field Trip to the Zoo

  The trip to the Zoo went great this year.  It was a full day trip.  We had a picnic in the grass.  The animal that most of them liked was the baby monkeys.  We visited the aquarium, rain forest, and looked at the new desert that is coming.  They learned a lot of new things about some of the animals there.  The group did not want to leave.  Next month we will be visiting the Western Heritage Museum.
