Sacramento Zoo field trip

Aly's kindergarten class has a once a year field trip to the Sacramento Zoo and Fairytale Town. All of the children were so excited and couldn't wait for this day to arrive. They went on this field trip last Wednesday and unfortunately for all of us the weather was 96 degrees outside! Yes we went from cold mountain weather being used to around 60 degrees to scalding heat!

I rode the bus with the children on the way there. Boy was it noisy. Fifty one kindergartners sure make for a noisy bus! Hubby drove and brought KK along. I am sure his drive was nice and quiet! Alyssa was very happy to have Daddy and KK come. I think KK really is turning into Aly's best friend, it is so cute!
In the beginning Aly wanted to follow her classmates around. She had me take her picture on the queens chair. Then she was off with KK to another place at Fairytale Town.
Last time we were at Fairytale town Aly did not want to go down this shoe. This time she was excited and wanted to try it. The funny thing was that once she got to the top of the slide and looked down she wasn't quite sure if she wanted to do it. So do you know what she did? She told KK to go first! KK whizzed down the slide. This made Aly feel more comfortable so she took a turn too.
Look at the girls on Cinderella's pumpkin. So cute! Yes, they wore matching outfits again, but you know what, Aly loves it!
At lunch many of the girls started playing Ring Around The Rosie's...it was so cute. They were so good about letting the younger siblings in too! KK was thrilled to play with the big kids! BTW did you notice her hair? For the first time in her life I was able to braid her hair. To be honest I really didn't think she had enough hair but it ended up working out just fine!
After lunch we went to the zoo. Both of our girls were so hot and tired by this point that they had melt downs. We ended up leaving after only 30 minutes or so. The good news is they both slept the whole way home in the car.
