End of the Year Field Trip

Mary Varner's preschool year is coming to an end. She has LOVED everyday, and I know is going to miss seeing her friends over the summer. She will still be in 4 year old preschool next year(different class/teacher/1 extra day) because the cutoff for entering kindergarten is Sept.1st and her birthday is Sept. 4th. She missed it by just a few days, but to tell you the truth I am glad that I have her home for one more year, and there will be some benefits to being the oldest in her class! Anyway, we went to this small zoo in the area for her field trip, and had a picnic lunch. I was not expecting to see major zoo animals, but there was a lion, tiger, white tiger, bear, goats, monkeys, and many other "real" zoo animals. The girls really enjoyed it, and we may go back for another visit this summer.

Getting instructions on which animals to feed and which ones to not feed

White Tiger- still amazed that it was laying on the closest fence to us and just looked at us the entire time

Lion- was very close too!!

Mary Varner feeding the goats! Janey tried it once and that was enough but she enjoyed watching Mary Varner feed them!!
