O2B Kids

Julia’s first field trip. She was in Heaven. She was more excited about the bus ride, until she got inside and got to see what O2B kids was.   

Julia getting on the bus  Friends she rode on the bus with  The reading room. Not much reading was done.       The play park area outside.  Balancing on the beams outside. Playing with Austin (who has  a crush on her and the first few weeks of school she said she loved him and they were going to get married, but not any more. She likes someone else now.)Getting all strapped up to climb the wall.             She started up the wall no problem…               She made it just above Mrs. Caldwell’s head and got scared!                The science experiment. They made GAK out of elmers glue, water, borax, and green food coloring. The boys couldn’t wait to get their hands in it and all the girls were making faces like Julia’s and didn’t want to touch it.

She had a great time and everyday since has said she wants to go again. And she came home yesterday with a free family pass to go back. YEA! This time daddy and Haley will get to come. Maybe we’ll go one day during spring break.

Penguins

We went to the zoo to see the new exhibit they have of the Penguins. It was packed!  I thought the exhibit had opened the weekend before, but I was wrong it opened the day we went. It was so full that we had to park out in the dirt parking lot. We waited about 45 minutes in line to see the Penguins, and I was a little disappointed. The exhibit use to have otters in it and they have moved the otters but didn’t change the exhibit it looks the same except now it has penguins in it. I’m not sure if it’s a permanent exhibit but it didn’t look closed in and will get very hot in the summer. Maybe they are still working on it. The girls had a blast. We took my 2 sisters and their husbands and our cousin Aly. We can’t wait to go again, hopefully next time it won’t be so crowded. (Crowds make me nervous!) Maybe a trip we will take during spring break!There’s a spot where you can climb under the exhibit  and see them swimming around.                                       Kassie and Billy      Haley, Julia, and Aly trying to feed the bird.(He was full from so many visitors that day!)                                Aly eating her lunch                                          Aunt Jeannie
