Binder Park Zoo

I haven't taken a field trip to a zoo in a very long time. Yesterday, 12 children, 3 adults, one grandma and one great=grandma went to Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek. It was the perfect day for a trip to the zoo -- about 74 degrees with a mild breeze. The sun was warm and the shade cool. The children, for the most part, were well-behaved. They loved the carousel, the train and tram. But most of all, like me, they liked the giraffes. They fed them special "crackers" purchased from the zoo. The observation deck was at the head level of the giraffes-great for feeding them but not so great for snapping good photos. Long, purple, sticky tongues just begging for crackers----made the kids squeal with delight and fright. Beth & Jamie brought lunch. Peanut butter and jelly never tasted so wonderful!
