"Oh, look at that one! Wow, look at him!"

Yesterday, I helped chaperone Aaron's second grade class on a field trip to the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro. It meant two hours of total time in a school bus with 24 excited and loud kids, but it also meant that I was able to spend a school day with Aaron. If you've never been to the NC Zoo, and you live a reasonable distance away, I suggest going. The kids had a wonderful time. The four boys I had in my group all walked through with wide eyes; it was great to watch their expressions. They have an area there called Kid Zone. I told Kate that maybe sometime next month (during their Halloween days), the three of us will go.

This was Aaron's favorite part
