A Trip to the Zoo

Last week Ellie's class went to the Birmingham Zoo on a field trip and I got to tag along. She had a blast walking around with her friends, riding the train, carousel, and camel, feeding the birds, and eating ice cream. Poor little thing slipped in the mud during their picnic lunch and busted her mouth on the picnic table. She even chipped a tooth! The funny part was when two teachers ran over with ice and paper towels and offered to throw away Ellie's remaining sandwich, which was still in her hand. Ellie pulled her hand away as the teacher reached for it and stuffed it into her mouth. That's my girl!

Feeding the birds may have been her favorite!
I couldn't get out of there fast enough!!

Nothing heals a puffy lip like strawberry ice cream!

Ending the trip on the carousel...one happy girl!
