We decided it's about time for a fun day out for our Morningstar kids. After all, most schools were on summer vacation (known locally as the 'mango-eating holiday'). We decided to take just the older class (ages 8-12) on this first trip. We would take them to the zoo.
They all arrived at the school ON TIME (funny how they managed to do that for once!) all dressed in their finest. We packed all 16 of us into two 'auto-rickshaws'--a motorized 3-wheeled scooter with passenger seats and a roof. They rarely get to ride in these so that was enough to get them smiling!
Giggled on the swing (first time for most of them)...

There's actually not much to see at our zoo....the Bengal tiger has died and the lone lion looks like he's on his way out as well....but that didn't stop these kids from having a great time.
They marveled at the owl...
Giggled on the swing (first time for most of them)...
Bonded with their teachers...
and with each other.
They marveled at mushrooms
and monkeys
(and 12-year old Bulbuli learned the hard way why we told them "DON'T put your finger in the cage!").
By the end they we were all hot, tired, and hungry...
but still smiling. Special day out indeed! Can't wait to do it again...in two weeks...with the 4-7 year olds. Stay tuned!
