zoo and a chapter book

 We decided to take a little trip to the zoo today. They were so excited.

 They look so big. Hunter was so excited that I did not bring the stroller for him.

 The elephants were playing in the water. It was pretty neat to see them drink and play.

My attempt at getting a picture of the three of us.

 Hunter requested to see the giraffe. He wanted to know why the baby was so big. I did not have an answer for him.

 Hannah was reading to him the information about the fish.

 Hunter said this was his favorite fish.

 Hannah wanted to take a picture of the "big snake." We had just seen the copperhead and when we saw the anaconda Hunter said, "I am glad that snake did not bit Mr. Matt's hand." He forgets nothing.

The flamingo's were very active today.  They thought it was fun to see them eat with their heads under the water.

 Hunter loves the goats. He told me he wanted a red brush and went straight to the bucket to find it.

 Hannah petted them for a minute but was more interested in reading the signs today.

 Hunter chased this little white goat all over the place. It would not be still for him to pet it.

 I think this goat may be a mama goat with a baby in her tummy. She could not move very fast, but Hunter bothered petted her enough to make her get up and move.

We went to Sonic to get drinks before coming home to eat lunch. Hunter had to take a nap before we went to meet the teacher at his school. 

 While he napped Hannah started reading her first real chapter book. She is such a good reader. She only needed help with a few words.

She asked if she could lay down and read. As soon as she did Gypsy came in and got on in the bed. I guess she really does like to listen to Hannah read. She read two chapters today. She said she would read more tomorrow. My baby girl is so grown up. It is amazing how much they grow and learn in a year.
