Phoenix Zoo Trip

I'm a little nostaglic today as this is probably my last school field trip to the zoo! I helped chaperone Natalie's class today and we had a lot of fun. It was a nice, breezy day and we had a very active group. Natalie and Lizbeth were the only girls in the group if that says anything :). I hooked up with one of my friends from the other class, Tiffany Eastley and we set off on our mini zoo adventure. We had a few scrapes, headaches, hand sanitizer in the eye kind of moments that make the field trip memorable. I was able to hear the Howler Monkeys this time, and they are creepy. I'd hate to run into one of them - it was disturbing that such a small thing can make those horrific sounds. It was nice getting there early as we got to see the giant turtles walking, albeit very slowly and what looked painful around. I get it now why they don't venture far, they walk with their toes inward. Anyways, I enjoyed riding the bus and sitting with Natalie, sharing cotton candy and all the pencils we bought at the gift shop. Mrs. M's class rocks!
