A Day at the Zoo

Yesterday, Theo and I went with his daycare on a field trip to the zoo in St-Martin la Plaine. After the hour-long bus ride, Theo got sick about 5 minutes before we arrived. Fortunately, I had taken a change of clothes (this same episode happened last year on the trip to the farm, but without a change of clothes…for either one of us).

Despite the heat and the crowd, all of the kids seemed to have a good time. The highlight was watching the gorillas get their snack in the afternoon. You can watch a video of the giant Silverback as he enjoys his carrots in front of children be clicking here. One of the more amusing moments is when a coati jumped up on a wall and stole a classmate’s backpack from where it was lying on the railing.
