Como Park Zoo


There's not much that is more exciting than a ride on a big orange school bus!  And that is exactly what the Green and Orange Classes got to ride on to get to the Como Park Zoo on Wednesday, May 6.  The children packed up their moms, dads, grandpas, grandmas and teachers and headed to the zoo to see what they could see.  Como offers everything from azaleas  to zebras and if the kids could keep the adults moving fast enough they had a chance of seeing something for every letter of the alphabet.  The rain forest had a sleepy sloth.  The monkey house had several babies.  The giraffes and zebras just had a bad smell (but they are so beautiful.)  Although the flamingos weren't out yet, the old tortoise was out in that area.  I'm pretty sure that is the same tortoise I remember as a kid.  I wonder how old he is?  
To keep everyone happy, each child got a snack bag with juice and a treat to eat.  This gave the adults a chance to rest while the children enjoyed their goodies.
The weather was perfect for our trip which helped make this a great day at the zoo!
