Ag day

Last week I went with Torii's class on a field trip to the Ag Day event in Mandan. Grandpa and Grandma also came with. It was a lot of fun. We got to explore the Ag Day in groups with chaperones being in charge of four students. Torii's teacher was very kind to me that day and left me with four really good kids. Torii, his girlfriend, his good guy friend and another boy were in our group. I caught Torii hugging his girl once. Grandpa and Grandma missed that one. Too cute. We had a lot of fun looking at the animals and touching all the different kinds of grain. We even got to see a sheep get sheared. They came home with a bag full of freebies which they really liked.

Yummy!

Caged animals

On Saturday it was a beautiful first day of spring and I really needed to get out. I have felt like a caged animal all winter and the kids are getting a little crazy being inside as well. We decided it was a good day to visit the zoo. I used to love seeing the otters more than any other animal, but the tigers are easily my favorite now. The white tiger was sitting right on top of the observation room you can walk over to. It's amazing seeing tigers so close. When we came back out of the tunnel we noticed one of the other tigers had left his perch high on top of a rock. We were surprised to see him right in our face when we looked to our right. It was a fun day at the zoo. We saw a couple of babies already and the animals were quite active with the cool temperatures. I think we will be going to the zoo again on Saturday as they are having an Easter egg hunt. The kids are looking forward to that.
