The Toronto Zoo

Last Thursday (June 20) Max's grade 4 class went to the Toronto Zoo for their end of the year trip. I went along. (Keith was hoping to go along as well but it ended up that he had Lobsterfest at work which he had to be at.) It was a fun, very warm, day!

Our group consisted of Max and Kyle and myself. We joined up with another mom Trish and her group of boys - Keith and Nate. So there were two moms and 4 boys. They were an awesome group of boys and it was a great day!

Boys are funny! At this age, they are so full of life and energy (aren't they always?!), they loved taking photos of the animals with their DSi's, jumping and climbing and crawling on every log, rock or ledge they could find and posing for photos...a miracle I think. They loved having their picture taken throughout the day. Lucky for me! ;)

We packed alot of walking and sightseeing into the day. We still didn't get to see the entire zoo. And we never did see the panda's live and in person. The lineup was over a 1 hour wait. The boys had no interest in waiting that long so they veto'd going to see them which was fine by me. We made sure to take their photo by a panda picture.... the next best thing. :)
