The zoo

We went with Emma and her classmates to the Potowatomi Zoo yesterday. It is in South Bend and it is the smallest zoo I have ever been to, but it was great for a field trip. We saw several different kinds of animals. I was happy that they had Zebras since that is Emma's favorite, but no Elephants or Giraffes. It had a little petting zoo that the kids could pet and brush goats. It also had an albino alligator on loan. Very cool. Afterwards, we had a picnic in the park and the kids played on the huge playset. Then a few of us went back in after the official fieldtrip was over and road the train and Emma had to ride the pony. I was a great time!
