Como Park Zoo & Conservatory

While in Saint Paul Minnesota our family visited Como Park Zoo & Conservatory.

Fiona loved riding the shuttle bus from the parking area to the zoo. The shuttle was painted outside like a giraffe.

The lions weren’t that scary!

Her favorite part was the children’s room with activities.

Dinosaur Ridge and P.E.

Last Friday Fiona went to Dinosaur Ridge and Timberline Park. This was a great field trip for Science and a great outdoor activity for P.E. She enjoyed digging for fossils though none were ever found. She made a new friend at the park.

More day trips are coming up!

Kindergarten in Colorado Again

Yesterday we went back to visit Mrs. Parker’s Kindergarten class. Fiona will have to add her own comments later. She had fun playing with the kids and handing out the journals our family made for them.

The class is going to the aquarium today and we’ve created a page just for them to add comments about their trip.

Enjoy the pictures! We respectfully don’t show entire clear faces of children without their parent’s permission.
