Ainsley's Last Field Trip

Even though we live in a fairly small town, we are very blessed to have a small local zoo. Best of all it is free! They do however accept donations so we donate when we can as we visit often in the summer. The kiddos ended up having a very nice day for their field trip and my Ainsley girl's favorite exhibit was the prairie dogs as seen below. They also got to listen to one of the zoo keepers who allowed them to pet many of the animals. Ainsley's favorite was a chinchila which is not yet in an exhibit. He had been someone's pet and was surrendered to the local humane society. Below, the kids are checking out the wolf exhibit.

By the time we reached the gazebo where the cranes are, all the children were getting tired and hungry.

Then, we headed over to the next portion of the field trip to visit the local Pizza Hut. The children were able to tour the kitchen to see where the pizzas are made and then, with the help of some very patient staff members, they had the chance to make their own pizza. Ainsley chose cheese only of course! It was a very nice tour and considering the early hour, about 10:30 in the morning, they had the restaurant to themselves. I have been so happy to get to chaperone so many of her field trips this year!
