Zoo Classes

Yesterday, the kids took classes at the zoo and they had so much fun!  Grandma wanted to gift each of the kids a class (she even went all out and got them their cute Zoo Camp shirts...which they promptly changed into before class even started) and I'm very thankful that she did.  I thought they would be good, I had no idea that they would be awesome.  Liv's was a parent-child class (she was not happy that I would be joining her, but actually did let me work with her on the crafts...a little bit) and the big kids were on their own.  So, I thought I'd let the kids do the blogging for me and tell you about their classes in their own words.


Jack:
My class was about the veterinarians at the zoo.  We got to see our cheek cells on a slide under a microscope.  We also got to make a skeleton with popsicle sticks and sun-prints.  My favorite thing was when a pachyderm zookeeper came in and told us about how they treat the elephants, hippos, rhinos and giraffes.  We did observations in the cat house and up close & personal with the goats.  I got to see a lot of interesting things today.

Olivia:
I took a class about giraffes.  I made a puppet and camera and a leaf hat.  We played games likes Moms blowing bubbles and kids hitting them with our tails (flyswatters...the bubbbles were supposed to be flies).  In the tv, there was a talking giraffe.  I saw two real giraffes.  I learned all the stuff about them.  They have good names.  The class was really cool!

EJ:
I liked when I felt the baby chicks.  I got to clean their cage.  I liked making the horse bed for Bandit and I got to wear a Zookeeper jacket when I did it too.  I can't wait to take another class at the zoo.
