The ZOO!!

 The penguins were definitely the highlight of our zoo trip.
 The flamingoes were pretty cool too.
 We couldn't wait to show Hazel the butterfly room.

 Jacob had a reunion with the monkey cage. When he was little we lost him at the zoo and this is the exact spot where we found him.

 Beaverhill Bird Observatory is our new favorite fieldtrip.
 It's a short hike into the cabin.
 The biologists are super passionate about birds! We learned so much in our short stay.
Lots of instruments and measurements.


 Jacob got to set this one free.

 Charlie found a quail nest.
And Ezra found a salamander. 
The birds are caught with mist nets and then the kids were able to take them off the nets and to the cabin in these cloth bags. 

We went to a livestock auction for another field trip. It was quite fascinating.
