For our end of the summer adventure (aka Mom has to go back to work) we headed to Scovill Zoo in Decatur last Thursday. Every Thursday during the summer, the admission is free, so our adventure didn't cost us very much at all! It was a beautiful day to be at the miniature zoo.
We saw a zebra, alligator, parrot, two deer, three camels, a couple of wolves, and some other little animals.
We also took a trip in the petting zoo, which was quite interesting. Jayden saw some cows, chickens, pigs, and a lot of goats.
We took a train ride tour around the zoo too. He was a little scared at first, but then figured out that it was fun!
After a snack and a drink, we headed to the playground. He took off running in the direction of these slides. He climbed up and went down the middle one. I was a nervous wreck, but he did it.
We had a fun day at the miniature zoo. It was the perfect size and location for a quick adventure and a mini lesson on animals. Hopefully today we will head to the State Fair for one last adventure before I head back to the classroom tomorrow.
