all year long olivia has had a fourth grade buddy that comes into her class to read and spend time with her. all the kindergarteners have one. it is a really sweet tradition at her school. as an end of the year activity, the fourth graders and kindergarteners go to the dallas zoo. they experience and learn all about the animals. i was able to go as a parent volunteer. i loved getting to watch as o and her buddy, brie, spent the day walking, talking, and learning together.

| we got to feed the giraffes. they had long black tongues that made all the kids giggle. |
 |
| almost time to go home, but we had to get one more group pic by the elephant fountains. |
it was a long and tiring day, but we had lots of fun. the girls were great!! olivia's favorite animal was the white alligator. brie liked the hurricane experience in the reptile house. after returning to school olivia and brie together wrote about their experiences at the zoo and even did a report on kola bears.
