Feb. 10, 2009 - A windy winter day at the zoo
We headed out for some learning at the zoo on Monday. Although it was much windier than we anticipated we found shelter in the Birdhouse. That must have been the Lord because, they were doing a beak demonstration---exactly what we've been learning about!
The kids were able to hold different bird skulls and check out the different types of beaks.
It was a little chilly for us, but perfect weather for Penguins.
Beautiful Duck Pond
A water strainer beak---the last beak we will be learning about...onto feet!
A thirsty Elephant and excited kids.
After her drink, this Asian Elephant began making deep, loud, heavy breathing noises. We all looked at eachother wondering if we had angered her. After a minute or so she let out a gigantic trumpeting noise--scared the socks off ALL of us!
