Girls' Field Trips

On Wednesday, I was able to go with Avery to the new

Environmental Learning Center in Oskaloosa with her preschool class.

It was very cold and RAINED A LOT, but it was indoors

and we still had fun.

Mom got to ride the bus with Avery 

Ranger Laura holding a hissing cockroach.
She was trying to get them to HISS and they jumped out of her hands
and fell on the kids - SCREAMS!
Thankfully Avery wasn't close.

This little turtle pooped and peed in front of the kids :)

Avery was BRAVE and held a SNAKE!

Listening to Ranger Laura talk about frogs.

Coloring :)

On Friday, I got to ride the bus up to Des Moine with Aubrey

to the Blank Park Zoo!

This was our group of 4 girls that we were with for the day.

BFFs Kate and Aubrey

The girls in the prairie dog tunnel.

LIONS!

GIRAFFES

These ducks were fun to watch  - they kept swimming by quickly
and splashing the girls!

MOOOOOOOOOO!

My favorite picture of the day - there was a free roaming peacock
and Aubrey got freaked :)
