Preschool Field Trip to the Zoo

Today we ventured on our first field trip with our preschool. It was a simple one at the Phoenix Zoo, but oh, so much fun! My boys loved having all of their friends with them.

Matthew and Jasmine checking out the snakes.

Hanging out with the frogs.

Checking out the prairie dogs. Isn't this an adorable picture?

Either they needed a foot massage or these were the only seats around. Lol!

Micah milking a cow.

Matthew on the carousel. I paid for the carousel ride as the teacher, since we didn't have to pay to get in. So many of my families have memberships that we were able to get in as guests and siblings. It was awesome!

This is another great picture. How funny!

Micah on an ostrich. Funny picture.

Matthew really got into the photo shoot with the animals today. That shows just how happy he was.

What a sweet smile.

My little pearl...

Look at Matthew's smile. He loves horses!!

The boys were crazy about these maps. They look so grown up!

What a fun day and a perfect field trip! Everything went off without a hitch. I love my job!!

Dalin

Dalin is the biggest brother. He is in 3rd grade, gets good grades, and loves to read. Since he turned 8 in July, he was baptized and started Cub Scouts, too. He loves to draw and really wants to learn to play the guitar. He stays busy with his friends and loves to ride his bike. He has even started riding it to school most days. He loves being a big brother and showing off the twins but will also be the first to tell you that his little bothers drive him absolutely crazy. The stories he tells at school are hilarious and, of course, very exaggerated by the time they get back to us.

Matthew

Matthew is the older of the twins, well, older by one minute. He is always interacting with one of us. He asks me every morning if his friends are coming over and will wait by the window if they are. He loves to dance for you, but doesn’t always want you to join him and will tell you, “No. Sit down.” He absolutely loves animals and has enjoyed our new bunny. He is very curious about his world and gets into trouble a lot as he tries to be independent. He burned his hand on the stove, got his head trapped under a bed at Grandmas, and ate an entire cake for lunch one day. Yes, the ENTIRE cake, and didn’t even make a mess!

Micah

Micah is the youngest and has a heart of gold! He is very quiet and keeps to himself. He is very happy when he is at home with his things, surrounded by the people he loves. He reads to himself all day long and counts everything he sees. He can even count in Spanish, thanks to Dora and Diego. He loves to line things up and put them into categories. His little mind is always working as he figures out his world and the looks he gets on his face prove it. He saw the ocean in June for the first time and couldn’t get enough. The water was freezing and he was shivering, but he kept running and running with the waves.
