Towson Presbyterian : ZooMobile

On our way in to school, we were directly behind the ZooMobile.  The boys were incredibly excited and we discussed the possibilities of animals that could be in the van.  We ruled out giraffe as there didn't seem to be enough room.

I was lucky enough to catch up with the boys on their viewing of the ZooMobile. It was perfect timing after the Parent Advisory Board.  When I arrived in the room, both boys and their classmates were sitting and incredibly excited.

The first animal that they presented was an owl. 

There was a lot of excitement and wishful thinking on everyone's parts, kids and adults alike, and they did not disappoint. 

I can't even get over the cuteness of this little penguin.  Apparently, the ZooMobile usually brings Winne (the poster penguin for the zoo) but this little lady was totally showing off. The zoo staff confirmed that she would be making more visits to the school as she handled it so well.

Next up was a chinchilla.

All of the children were invited up to pet the chinchilla. There were some that declined but the line was long. 

For some reason, Jackson was contemplating not going up to pet him but I'm glad he changed his mind.

After they were given the opportunity to pet the chinchilla, the kids went back to their class to finish up the morning. I can't imagine that very much was accomplished after all of the excitement that the ZooMobile brought to the school. 

We are so happy that we made the decision to switch the boys to Towson Presbyterian as they have just grown and the amount of fun that they are exposed to is amazing.  We are ready for the next adventure.   And, we are definitely ready to get back to the Zoo. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate.
