Washington DC school trip pictures

Here are some pictures of our 2nd graders field trip to Washington DC.  We got there in the morning, it was foggy and cold.  But we still had fun.

 We then loaded up the 4 buses of 2nd graders and went to the zoo.  Thankfully, it had warmed up quite a bit.  We were disappointed that half of the exhibits were closed and the animals were not there.  Nathan has to write a report on a giraffe- well guess what animal was not there. Yup- you got it- a giraffe.  Nathan has to write a report on an animal not even at the zoo.  Thankfully, the internet is filled with all kinds of useful giraffe related information:)  Here are some of the pictures from the zoo:

Shrew

Can't remember what this animal is.  But the principal said that it looked like Chewbacca:)

Beautiful Butterfly Garden

As you can tell, we had a great time.  Nathan wants to go back soon.  We are trying to convince daddy that we need to go back to Washington DC, maybe for our vacation this year:)
