Today I was a chaperone for Zach and his school class at Brookfield zoo!  I did this with Kirstyn and had a blast, so I volunteered to help with Zach as well.  I only had 3 kids (including Zach) and that worked out VERY well.  Each kid was supposed to figure out what his or her favorite animal was, research it, and then we were supposed to visit that animal during our visit.

Zach did his research about bats and wrote a great report to read to us.  It was fun to listen to what each boy had written.  🙂

The trip went really fast!  I think we were actually on the bus longer than we were in the zoo itself.  Each of the kids brought their own lunch and with my boys, as soon as we got to the zoo they wanted to eat!  🙂  I made them wait until they had found their animal and read their report so we could at least see some animals.  🙂  We ended up walking fast and seeing quite a bit in the couple of hours we were there!

Thanks for asking me to come, Zach!
