A zootiful day

It was a beautiful day to have our first day back to the zoo this season. We met a number of homeschooling friends and ventured into the Australian Outback and also looked at how the new African Journey area is progressing.

We spent a fair amount of time playing in the new mazes in a corner of the zoo, and trying to improve our time as we repeatedly tried it. Fiona tackled this project with real vigor, carefully considering her moves from the last trip and trying for her best option. Nora, on the other hand, simply screeched joyously and ran-- almost faster than I wished. It's as though she trusted her marvelous toddler Buddha belly alone to get her to the end fortuitously.
