Trip to the Zoo

On Tuesday we packed up the vans and drove the kindergarten class up to the zoo. They had Alphabet books that they filled in as we walked around. The goal was to find an animal to write down for every letter.Measure up to the polar bear.The boys would have played the dung beetle game FOREVER!!!The boys loved the shark teeth. One of the zoo keepers was so patient answering all their questions.Yes, I did make them get measured up against everything we came across. They just grow up so quickly.Oh no! Shark attack!!!The walruses were so HUGE!!!The boys LOVED the polar bears. I didn't get a photo of it, but when one of the bears was in the water, it popped up right in front of us at the window and the boys were thrilled.My cute little monkey!Some monkeys escaped! Can you find them all?Oh no! A scary spider!!!Climbing the statue.Green and Gold all together for a snack.The Gold class boys plus one.Ready to head home. It's a kid chain to the car. (=

Viking Fest

Sunday we headed north to the Viking Fest where Sister performed again. This time, it was just Memere, Sister and me as the boys were Irished out. Sister and her friend from class wait for the performance to begin.
The entire group that was there today.
Here is Sister performing. Sorry, not the best photo, but you get the idea.

She did another fabulous job.


After the performance, we enjoyed some fair food and checked out Poulsbo a bit. Sister really liked this Stetson. (=
