Logan's Field Trip to the Zoo - June 23rd, '09

Logan had another 'big' year end field trip this year.
The school had all the Grade 1's and 2's go to the Calgary Zoo. Seems crazy and a long way to go for a whole lot of 6-8 year olds!
It was a long day and I think I was more tired than Logan at bedtime!
Here are the boys on the bus. They had to, of course, pick the very back of the bus to sit.
Here was the first animal to meet us when we got there.
There were a lot of parent volunteers, so I just had Logan and his friend Kyden to 'take care of' for the day.
Some very cute monkeys .
(Logan included!)

As we came outside to look at the gorilla's, we got to witness some domestic violence. Not sure what was going on, but the big male gorilla had a female by the shoulders, and then smashed her head into the rock wall. Not sure what that was all about.
In this picture you can see the baby gorilla hanging on to it's mothers back leg.
Big meany!
Some cool Lemar that was just hanging out.
Logan and his buddy Ryan.
Logan with his teacher, Mrs. Boodhoo.
For the day, myself and a couple other parents got together and we all hung out for the day. Here is the group of all the kids.
We searched high and low for the Koala bears......and when we finally found them........they didn't move at all!
Flamingo's!
The zoo's monkey's........
.......my monkey!
I had a heck of a time trying to get a decent picture of this creature.
We also had a visitor come see us at the Zoo!
Logan enjoyed seeing his cousin, but he had to remain cool in front of his friends and didn't spend too much time with him. Auntie had a good visit, in between making sure both boys were with in sight!


Here are two of my favorites at the Zoo.

It was a long day! Surprisingly, Logan only slept for 10 minutes. His buddy on the other hand,
slept half the way home!

Going to have to wait and see what they do next year!

I was exhausted that day, and I only had to travel across the city to get to the zoo! Regardless, fun to see the kids...and how much they really coulda given a rip about the zoo for the most part, but were just happy to be out and about with their friends.

Nice shades Logan! You look pretty cool! I hope you had a good time. The sting ray is my favorite. I got to swim with them in Belize.
