We're going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo...

We went to the Zoo to see the newest exhibit, Out of Africa, it was exciting to see all the new animals and the changes Zoo Boise has made. One of the most exciting parts of the trip was seeing Eagle & Parkcenter Montessori's plague. Last year we all gathered our pennies to give to Zoo Boise so that we could help bring Africa to Idaho. It was great to see that our donations helped.
While at the Zoo we spent some time petting snakes. They weren't scary at all and felt really cool.
Here we are riding a jeep on safari through the Out of Africa exhibit. It's not the real thing, but it's still awesome!
Group shot! It was such a great day, we had to capture the moment for posterity.






Back when it was warm...

At the beginning of the school year we took a class camping trip to Bruneau Sand Dunes... It's fun to look back when it's cold outside and remember short sleeves and warm weather!

We had to climb a BIG hill to "sled" back down.














Thanks for the push George! It was nice that our parents were able to come along for the ride.





How many Eagle Elementary Montessori students can you fit in the back of Joe's van?














Even Pete came along for the camping adventure. It was a beautiful evening and we are looking forward to next year's camping trip. But until then, we have work to do and winter to enjoy.
