Today was a great day! It was so exciting to see so many animals. My favorite animal to see was the tiger. I sure was glad he was behind metal bars though. I also thought the baby elephant was really cute. I took lots of pictures and I can't wait to show them to my grandmother.

Dear Mike,

Today was our school trip and there was so much to see and learn. We had soooo much fun!! First, we learned about plants and trees. Then we learned about animals. That was my favorite part and it was amazing! The best part was when we went to this big room. It was filled with all kinds of dinosaur bones. Next time you come to visit, maybe I can take you.
