Zoo

I enjoyed a very special day on Friday with Faith at the Houston Zoo. She was sooo excited, the day was a big huge deal to her! We even had to braid her hair.Notice the prairie dog scurrying away?
Faith & her friends petting a very larger rabbit. Yes, we brought purell.
Did you know a giraffe's neck is longer than 6 feet? I learned a lot too, kindergartners know more than me.

This is an okapi. The kids were fascinated by him, he can touch his eyeball with his tongue! He is almost "exint." (by Faith) They watched & watched him. TMI, as far as I was concerned.
Petting Zoo - Faith loved the animals. She asked over & over to go pet the animals. Purell....again, soap & water too. By this time, the kids got really tired. Faith said many of them slept on the bus on the way home but not my child. However, she did fall asleep at 7:50 p.m. :)

Btw, you know your child is too big when she can read the signs at the zoo. (Cannot.think.about.her.turning 7. Cannot.think.about.her.turning 7. Cannot.think.about.her.turning 7.)
