~ Zoo Scavenger Hunt ~

I love teaching Andrew at home. It really allows you to go explore and learn in different ways. Granted, we would not do this everyday!! Monday was a beautiful day. It really was perfect. I thought it would be a good day for us to visit the zoo. We have a membership. So, the visit was free! Perfect! I put together a little scavenger hunt for the kids. Emily circled or crossed off the animals as we found them. Andrew had to take the picture and put it at the top of his paper. He had to write the name, what continent they live on, count how many and write the number and what they eat!

We started by having a picnic lunch with Nana and a surprise guest (Daddy)!!! 

Enjoying  a little lunch!

Nana and Emily

Did you know that these guys can live to be 100 years old?

A cute little Fella' hanging out. He was running all over by our feet! I think he is really cute.

We arrived at the Polar Bear only to see this in the door way. Look at how HUGE that paw is. Did you know that a polar bear's fur isn't white? Each hair is a clear hollow tube. The sun reflects off of it and helps to keep them warm. 

I had Andrew sit down and work on his little report. We figured we would come back later to see if he was up from his nap! We didn't have to wait too long!

He finally showed us his sleepy face!

Signs that fall is here!

Nap Time!

So very Tall

We had  a wonderful time. They didn't finish their scavenger hunt because part of the zoo was closed. We will have to visit again soon to finish it up!
