OK so it was a little cold but I just had that antsy feeling and needed to just get out and have fun with the kids. So we went to the zoo. Oh, the wonders of Homeschooling!
Our zoo style is to select one or two areas and hang out there for an extended period of time. And then make some hit and run stops to a few additional animals along the way. We quickly hit the flamingos and the manatees (the divers were cleaning the rock along the edges of the tank which was more interesting than the animal that day). And we camped out at the aquarium with sketch pads and pastels. It was fairly warm when we left so we hit the polar bears. There was an attendant there and the kids peppered her with questions and we followed her to check out the brown bears. They are in an intermediate stage before full hibernation and were sleeping right next to the glass. We stayed long enough to watch them get up, yawn and stretch. They are enormous and amazing creatures.
