Homeschoolers rocked the zoo!!!!!!!!





































I took Jacob and Michael on a field trip to the Cincinnai Zoo today with our co-op. We had an eduational tour and talked about adaptation. They broke our group into 4 small groups each with two tour guides. Our group had Michael, Jacob and Olivia. Our guides were Mark and Doug. They were very engaging with the kids. The kids really impressed our guides, they knew the answers to almost all the questions they asked. At one point Mark said, "maybe everyone shoul be homeschooled." And when he was finished with our tour he said he that our kids were the smartest that he had ever given a tour too. Then he said "I REALLY mean it!" He even introduced us to the head reptile keeper!!
















When our group got back with the rest of the co-op all the other guides were saying that our group was one of the best they had ever had!
















It had been a long time since I had been to this zoo, I was really impressed. They had lots of animals that the zoo we normally go to doesn't have. The Red Panda was so cute!
















While trying to see the sea lions Jacob fell and busted his mouth. Its a little swollen still and he has a few scrapes on his chin. But we really had a good time. We saw the rest of the zoo after our tour with Matt and Olivia and their mom. It was a wonderful day!
