We had a field trip to the Cameron Park Zoo last week and had a blast. The weather was absolutely perfect for us; that means it was cool and breezy enough to keep the insects like mosquitoes and wasps and bees away. Both of the boys are bug magnets and are terribly allergic, to the point that I carry Benadryl and an Epi Pen everywhere with us. So the bugs were kept at bay, and eldest and I just dealt with the bad hair.
I guess the wind kept the zoo visitors at bay, too, because we had the place to ourselves! We took as long as we wanted reading signs and filling out charts and maps I'd printed off for the kids. They classified animals as native or exotic, then labeled a world map to show where different animals are found. Then they played with a few other kids at the zoo park.

Hope the kiddos are up for a return trip soon. Their cousin's going to explode if he doesn't get a chance to come back to CPZ. He's getting so tired of correcting Daddy when we try to re-cap our last zoo trip at story time.
We're ready, and tell him we can't WAIT to do the zoo again with him!
Hopefully when you guys come the river otters will be back in their habitat to play with us ~ apparently they had been removed so some repairs could be made. So, the kids slid through the clear slide anyway, but it just wasn't the same....
Hope you can come soon!
