We had a wonderful time at the zoo and truly enjoyed meeting two other homeschool families from our area.  Chicken, Bubba, and Lae had their free passes to the zoo from completing their library summer reading program.  Both of the moms I met were from an online message board.  They were both very sweet and their children were lovely.  Hopefully we can take more trips together!  Here are some pictures from our day:

Checking out the millipede

We learned that millipedes can't hurt you, but centipedes can.  How can you tell them apart?  The millipedes have rounded backs and the centipedes are flat.

 

 

We had a great day!
