Zoobilation

On Wednesday we went to Zoobilation with the playgroup. Zoobilation is a members only behind the scenes event that the zoo has once a year. It's a lot of fun because you get to see inside all the displays and they have all kinds of animals out to touch and hold and learn about.



Left to right the kids are: Karisa, Emmory and Chance.

After we picked a direction the kids were able to bounce in a bounce house then we went through the reptile house and after that we fed the giraffes. In the swamp area he was able to hold an opossum. It was pretty neat neither one of us had ever seen one up close before. He climbed up his arm and sat on his shoulder.

Chance's drawing has gotten a lot better recently, it's like he just started caring about what he drew. It seems each time he sits down he draws something new. Here on the magna-doodle we have a guy stuck in a rain storm. Taking his cues from real life as it had been raining for days when he drew this.






















Also, we are still hard at work on our workbook pages and this one taught him how to draw an apple. With no help from me he followed the directions pretty well if I do say so myself. What do you think?

Birth Marks

Today Chance and I started talking about freckles, I have lots but he has very few and skin color, he tans and has a beautiful tan but I burn and so am much more pale. Which led us to a conversation about birth marks. I have one on the left side of my neck that is very similar to Chance's which is on the left side of his head by his temple. He didn't know he had one so I took this picture so he could see it and now all of you can too.
