The National Zoo & Pizza @ "Home"

These boys love these snakes!

Does Nicole?

Nick, Sally, Kayla & Nadya cooling off in the mist.

They must have walked all over DC to be able to sleep this way.

The Panda's snacking.
4:10pm. We arrived at the National Zoo

We had 2 hours to explore whatever the students were interested in. The pandas were staying cool inside and the orangutans were playing with sheets. The birds were stunning and the students had lots and lots of stories at evening meeting, about both the Zoo and Renwick Gallery.

Since our previous 2 evenings were so late, we decided to order pizza to eat at the 4-H complex. After a relaxing dinner, the 6th graders had a pick up game of soccer and some wheel barrow racing. Other highlights of the day was the finding of Emily G's 6 of diamonds. Thank you Mr. Willis. Mrs. Sullivan found her necklace on the bus that had just been cleaned to perfection by the 6th graders.

We look forward to the Vietnam & Korean Memorials on Thursday. Also, the Bureau of Engraving, the Holocaust Museum, The Air & Space Museum, the Pentagon, a metro ride, Arlington Cemetery, Iwo Jima, and dinner & swimming near Sophie's previous home.

Is there really only 24 hours in a day?
