Field trip to the zoo

For Megan's preschool, we are trying to do a field trip every month.  For September we went to the zoo!  Meg's had lots of fun hanging out with her friends and learning the signs for each animal.

 

 The group!  Megs, Eliza, Jacob, and Alex....with a couple of mom's in the background.  The kids are watching the flamingos in this shot.  The birds were really close to the fence.

 

 Derrick tried "racing the cheetah" for the first time on this trip.  He was all into it until the flash of the camera the race has went off.  At the flash he stopped, turned around, and ran back to me bawling.  He's a very sensitive little guy, and doesn't deal well with scares or attention. :)
