Bowmanville Zoo
Easton had a final class trip to the Bowmanville Zoo yesterday. I was happy to be able to be part of that adventure.
I arrived to find out that 2 of the volunteers would not be able to join us so my small group became the group of 7. Which out of 23 kids in his class that were attending that day is a high percentage.
I am sure glad that I volunteer so often and they know me and I know them.
We did the walk around the zoo (kind of petting zoo/farm like, just pen after pen of animals in no particular order and not really matching the map at all as some animals were no longer there) which took about 1 hour, then we watched what I would describe as a mini half hour circus show with the animals.
By this time the kids were very hungry so we ate lunch at the picnic tables.
It was a beautiful day which I was very thankful for as the days around this day had rain.
After lunch they played in a park area for a bit, and then we saw a few more animals before ending the day with fair type rides: A merry go round, a boat ride and a tilt a whirl ride. All of which looked very old. However the kids didn't mind.
I think everyone had a good time.
