We went to Britt's class at the zoo today and learned about kangaroos. At craft time, Britt successfully pasted a pouch onto a kangaroo cutout, and slipped the little joey inside it. She was doing great until the girl sitting next to her ripped one of her kangaroo's arms so her dad told her she'd have to rip the other arm to match. So Britt followed the other's kid's dad's instructions and ripped the arms off her own kangaroo.
(***sigh***)
Anyway, the kangaroos are at the very furthest corner of the zoo, so we wandered off to do our own thing instead of following the rest of the class down there. Britt wanted to ride the tram, but it would've cost $3 for me and $2 for her and I only had a ten on me and that was our lunch money, so we watched the ducks and geese for awhile and then we walked in a different direction than we normally do and found -- Holy cow! -- a humongous playground! How long has that been there?
Britt got to swing
and slide
and climb
and walk across crazy rubbery thingys
and climb ladders
and ponder the universe. Or something. I dunno what she was doing here.
And then we got lunch and went home, because that was enough excitement for one day.
More excitement tomorrow: Britt's scheduled to meet her baby brother for the first time ever.
