1st Grade Zoo Field Trip

I meant to post these earlier. Last week was Austin's big 1st grade field trip to Hogle Zoo. Jeremy, Sydney and I went up to meet Austin's class at the zoo and hung out with his class group. It started out kinda cold and rainy but did get better. The Red Panda was the highlight for me, they are just sooo cute and adorable. Austin said his favorites were the tiger, cougar, and giraffes. The giraffe display they have is soo cool at this zoo, you really get to see them up close. Sydney had fun tagging along, and was just "one of the kids" at the zoo. Afterwards, we got to meet his class at the park for lunch, before they headed back on the buses. Austin is so funny, and so independent. He didn't want to ride with us, or leave early, but stick with his class and on the bus. As you can see in the bottom picture, he totally wore himself out at the zoo, and we found him later, he had pulled out a sleeping bag and climbed in it himself, and took a nap. Fell right asleep....
