Zoo Atlanta

We spent our Labor Day at Zoo Atlanta. I had read on one of my favorite sites about Swaptember - where if you have a membership to a participating organization—Atlanta Ballet, Atlanta Botanical Garden, Atlanta History Center/Margaret Mitchell House, Fernbank Museum of Natural History, Georgia Aquarium, High Museum of Art, Imagine It! The Children’s Museum of Atlanta, Michael C. Carlos Museum, or Zoo Atlanta—you can use your membership to save at any of those organizations.

So - today we headed out to use our Children's Museum membership to get a discount on a zoo membership.

Just in time - in one week, Mikaela and I will begin our 20 week animal unit study in Science.

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day!

my favorite animal - the giraffe.....I miss those tall thin days.....

Pink flamingos - we started our zoo scavenger hunt (part of our homeschool science lesson) with the pink flamingos - we're still wondering why they stand on one leg?

climbing on termite structures - did you know they build skyscrapers in the ground?
