The Zoo

There's still 9 school days to go before Spring Break, so life is kinda like a zoo right now at school. Last Friday, I had to chance to help chaperone a trip to St. Louis to see the zoo and Busch Stadium. The field trip was great, one of the best I have been one, it also helped that I got to see one of the zoo's newest animals.

While at the zoo, we spent some time in the Penguin & Puffin Coast. (This reminded me of how much Luc likes penguins.)

So because of seeing the penguins at the zoo, Lando's book collection grew. (I also need to be sure Luc is represented in Lando's library.) So Lando is now the proud owner of: Your Personal Penguin (which can be sung to the tune of "Hey, Hey, We're the Monkeys), That's Not My Penguin. . . (it is an Usborne touchy-feely book), I Love My Daddy, and Waddle!. 

I have to say, I am really liking Waddle!. I saw it for the first time when I was with my friend J at Anderson's Bookshop in Naperville. There are a couple of other scanimation books like it, but Lando's next one is going to be. . .

So can't wait to take Lando to the zoo for the first time!
