Science Day at the Zoo

We spent most of yesterday at the Dallas Zoo. The main event was Science Day. There were booths strategically placed around the zoo to teach the kids about science that affects the animals or environment in which they live. Each booth had four different activities so that preschoolers could participate as well as middle schoolers. After listening well participants received a token that they could exchange for a toy at the entry to the zoo. Our kids each received six tokens, which they exchanged for zoo bubbles.

Josh was fascinated by the penguins swimming in their tanks. He went back for a second look after our lunch break on the rocks.

We challenged Julie to smile like a chimp:). Quite a resemblance. . . .

Here, David is imitating the chimp's scared look. Looks more like a natural David smile to me:).

What did James do at the zoo? He hung out in the stroller, walked in Mommy's arms, and played in the creek at the Children's Zoo.

All in all the day was great. The kids really did well at the science booths, the temperature was cooler, and the humidity level tolerable. We were exhausted at the end of the day, but happy:). Why don't you show your happy chimp grin.
