Bear Hollow

So our first “field trip” was to Bear Hollow Zoo.  It was a free little zoo about a 40 minutes away.  It is at a park so after walking around and seeing the animals we were able to eat lunch and play on the playground. There were bears, alligators, owls, turkeys, deer, eagles, turtles, etc.  Jenna and  Westley were great.  They enjoyed watching the animals and reading about them and what they eat.  Jenna drew pictures of her favorite animals in her notebook.  Charlotte on the other hand was… well she had to take a special walk with Ben and we could hear them the whole time.  Yep, she has my personality for sure. Jenna and Westley looking at the turkey and deer. In front of the bald eagle.  Sorry, I should have edited the pictures to make them clear, but I am too lazy right now. Cute kids enjoying the zoo.  This is after Charlotte had calmed down. Here is the big bear.  This is what helped calm down our crazy girl. I guess a big bear gets your attention. Here the kids are looking at the baby bears.  They had a few ramps and platforms to climb and our kids kept waiting to see if they would slide down them. Yeah, the zoo is fun.
