Babes in the Zoo

Audrey takes a class once a month at the zoo. We went last week to our second class and she loves it! It's called, "Babes in the Zoo", and is for kiddos from age 6 months to 2 years. The youngest child is around 10 months and the oldest in her class is 18 months. The first class we went to was "Down on the Farm" and she got to see/touch an owl, rat (yes!! a big, huge RAT!), a porcupine, and a handful of other baby animals but I can't remember what all they were.

During her second class, "South American Animals", she got to touch a chinchilla.



An armadillo- ugh.


A guinea pig and she got to see up close-- VERY CLOSE-- a hyacinth macaw. This bird was LOUD and kinda scary because he was so close to us! Audrey was a little frightened of the big old thing! The zookeeper said that he could break an adults finger in his beak.


Audrey's favorite parts of zoo classes are the toys at the back of the room....


.... the open door that leads straight outside....


....and this little boy who is only 4 months older than her. He is so kind to her!...



Her next class is, "Reptiles and Amphibians". It should be interesting!! According to the teacher, we are going to "examine" a snake.I'll make sure to take my camera!!
