Parker's Zoo Fieldtrip

Today was Parker's first field trip and they went to the Zoo. Every child had a parent with them and of course we took Caleb with us. This was Caleb's first visit to a zoo and he did great. Parker, Caleb and I walked around with his friend Ben and his mommy. Ben's mommy and I both went to Samford and were on the same hall our Freshmen year. Small world how our boys are now in school together.
We walked around the whole zoo for a few hours and then met outside for a picnic lunch with everyone. It was so much fun to see the kids talk and play together and the parents get to know each other. I really enjoyed doing this with Parker and I look forward to doing more of this in the coming years. Caleb in front of the Giraffee area.

Parker loved being a Giraffee today.

Parker wanted to sit several rows ahead of Caleb and I with his buddy Ben. Then right before the train started to go, he started to cry and want to sit with me. So Ben's mommy (who is pregnant) had to get out really fast and pass him back to me before the train took off.
