today was kind of fun. this morning mom and i drove to the zoo. we went to the gamesville zoo. there's just a small one not far from where we live. it's part of the community college's zookeeper program. it only took us a few minutes to get there. when we got out of the car i heard this strange squawking cry. what the heck was that? mom and i stopped at the bathroom before we went in the zoo. when we walked out again there was a huge bird- right in front of me. a peacock! he squawked at me then wandered off. so that's what made the strange noise.
mom and i went into the zoo and walked around. we visited each of the different cages. mom brought my science field journal and she took notes of all the different things we saw. there were birds. big birds, small birds. you name it chances are we saw it, except toucan. there's no toucans. in the brush next to the walking trail we saw two lady peacocks and they each had a small chick with them. they were scratching around in the leaves looking for things to eat. it was pretty fun to see. we saw some lemurs, sleeping. the gibbon monkeys were whoooping up a storm. they were fun to watch. i think we saw a million turtles too. it was a really nice way to spend an hour.
after the zoo mom and i just went home again. we're going to try and keep cool.
