so, today was the schoolwide field trip to the zoo. lucky for me they planned it, as hampton has not been to the zoo since infanthood! honestly, i have never, ever (in my long-legged life), seen every single exhibit in the sedgwick county zoo in one trip. today i did. hampton and friends (aka jaxon & riley) viewed each map we encountered, assurance that we would not miss an attraction! the cute necklaces that adorned their necks, were perhaps incentive to see it all. the necklaces included a square to affix a dot sticker, once they had seen that animal. we had lunch early (10.30ish), and well, the lunch i packed for us stayed in the car...we settled on cheeseburgers & fries (more walking, are you kidding me)!?! once our group had been fed, we were bound to see the remainder of the zoo...and we did. funny, i thought we'd actually leave early, but we left right on time. there was just way too much for a four year old to take in! a fun day it was, despite the wind, that honestly is the reason i am still without a voice. hampton and her friends kept full-out sprinting to the next exhibit...i would yell "hampton" and of course, she would not respond. thus, wind + yelling at a 4 year old at the zoo (for her own safety, nonetheless)=loss of voice. note to self. it still isn't back, and i have no complainers. what's up with that?
