One thing I love about Homeschooling is that we can really "do what we want". I decided to start our year early since it was our first year that way we had plenty of time for review and honestly because I'm still a little lost lol. 

So when the kiddos were getting bored with school, I decided a field trip was necessary! We have been studying animals and what they need to survive and such.. so the zoo seemed like a perfect fit. The kids always love to take a trip to the zoo, the variety of animals, the train rides and sky safari (which I hate), they LOVE IT!
