Last Friday the boys school had a field trip to the Ft. Wayne Children's Zoo. Maddie, Eli and I got to go too. When we left the house it was pouring and there was also a lot of thunder and lightening. I told the boys that since they were not canceling the trip, we would drive to the zoo, but if it was still raining when we got there we would not be staying. They prayed!
When we arrived in Ft. Wayne the storm had stopped. It was still very cold, but I think the kids had fun.
Below is the newest giraffe at the zoo, Zahra. The zoo keeper that was standing nearby said that her name meant "flower" in Swahili. There are flower-like patterns around her neck. The neat thing was that the boys couldn't believe she was younger than Maddie. She was born in October and she was not very timid at all. She was very close to us.
Her mom was a little more timid.
At our picnic lunch, Mrs. Jennings took our picture.
About 20 minutes after lunch the sun came out brightly and it turned out to be a wonderful and warm day.
We liked the penguins too!
It was a little crazy trying to keep all 4 kids corralled with tons of kids running wild at the zoo, but we had a good time at the zoo.
