When we found out C had a field trip to the zoo coming up I asked hubby if he would take the day off so one of us could go with C (the other stay home with the littles) Then he, in all his wisdom, said that if he was taking the day off anyway why wouldn't we ALL go to the zoo? So, we let C pick who he wanted his official chaperone to be (ME! I was so surprised because these boys are all about their Daddy most days). C rode the bus up there with his friends and we followed in our van. It was such a fun day. The best of both worlds really. I was able to experience the whole field trip with C and watch him interacting with his friends, but also had times where our whole family was together. Hubby was officially in charge of the littles so they did their own thing, but several times throughout the day I'd hear "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy" And lil' peanut would be racing toward me, followed by his baby brother. :)
After meeting back up with his class, I was able to sign C out and we enjoyed some family time, finally riding the train that's just outside the zoo. Lil' peanut has been asking to ride the train here for a long time. All three of them loved the train ride!
Picture this. A group of six 8 year old boys exploring an exhibit titled "The Scoop on Poop!" I got to experience that. It was something special indeed. Lol.
The group.
Super Daddy working that stroller. :)
I'm so glad hubby suggested making this a family field trip. We hadn't been to the zoo in what seemed like forever. It was a great day!
