DC Zoo trip

On Spring Break last week, we got together with a few non homeschooling friends from the mosque and went to DC zoo. After 2 hours of trying to find parking, we finally made it in.

This is Baraka, a new mom at 26 with baby Kibibi. It was a mazing to see her with her newborn, how protective they are. It is also so sad to see that she has to constantly fight for her peace inside the small glass cage that she has to share with at least 5 other gorillas.

A and K acting like tourist, they were so excited to be there with the other children. I watched them interact with the other kids and glad to see that they are able to chose friends who behave nicely.

The panda exhibition were packed with people, since it is right by a restaurant, so we skipped the panda today, perhaps another day. Here, the girls are acting they are pandas trying to eat bamboo...

Although 3 months had past, baby Kibibi still is the spotlight of the zoo.

K wanted picture of her with the lineage of gorillas info. I cant remember where and when she got this factionation of the apes family, but I'm glad since I can connect it along the line with our Indonesia lapbook.


Mommy was to tired to do anything else after we are back home, but the girls are so excited and wanted to do arts and craft on zoo animals..I found a few animal stickers and they made a story on these animals. It's not done yet, we still have to do the Apes.
