The Field Trip

I hate to do this to you, I really do. And I apologize in advance. You see, Molly went on a field trip the other day and I want to blog about it.

I blog for a couple of reasons. One: Periodically I have my blog turned into a keepsake book for Molly, so I like to keep track of all of the things that we do. Two: My parents in Colorado live for Molly. They don’t care if I post pictures of the back if her head. They want pictures, and lots of them.

So why am I apologizing for this blog post. Well…. because….. okay, okay I am just gonna put it out there, folks: The field trip was to the zoo.

Yes, the zoo. Again. For the millionth time, I a blogging about the @#$&* zoo. I’m sorry. Truly. If you want to stop here and go on to someone else’s blog, I understand. But if you hang with me, thank you.

Alrighty, the day started out cold and rainy. No big surprise, it’s been raining nonstop for over two weeks. We came prepared.

Next was the obligatory group shot of Molly’s preschool class, her teachers and some random parents.

Periodically, the sun shone through the clouds for a fleeting moment. Here’s Molly and Jackson on one of the many zoo statues that you have seen in a bunch of other pictures.

I love this picture. Three fiery redheads--Kelsey, Makenna and Landon—with a sign above them that states, “May be hot to the touch.”

Molly with a stingray passing by.

Looking to see where the stingray swam off to.

Molly could spend hours playing at this boat.

Makenna and Molly: Snake Charmers.

Claire, Brooklynn and Molly hanging out by the penguins.

Molly always wants her picture taken with this penguin. Today was no different. Apparently she doesn't realize that she completely covered up her penguin buddy with this model-like pose.

The girls in the monkey cage…another zoo location that Molly could play at for hours.

Molly and Bella looking cute.

At the end of the day, the kids attended a wildlife class where they got to touch an actual snake. Yuck. Molly had no apprehensions, though. She thought it was cool. Again I say, “Yuck!”

So, there you have it. The zoo. Again.

Wish I could promise that this would be my last zoo post, but I’d be lying. We go to the zoo a lot. I take pictures. Another post is simply unavoidable. I do apologize.
