Both the boys’ classes went to the Decatur Zoo this year. Usually, they go to Bloomington’s Miller Park Zoo, so I was a little apprehensive to go somewhere new, but was pleasantly surprised with how great Scovill Zoo in Decatur is! If you’re looking for a nice small zoo to take the kids to, this is a great one. It’s very easy to walk, has a petting zoo part, a train and carousel to ride and a fabulous playground right outside! Oh and the animals are pretty great, too! 🙂 Mac’s class first went to the Scovill Children’s Museum. It was wonderful as well. Not quite as big as Bloomington’s, but had some different things that the kids really liked.

And I forgot how incredibly slow turtles are. It was fascinating to watch them walking around. I felt like we were stuck underwater or in slow motion or something… 🙂 Patrick, is that you??

And souvenirs…even got one for his brother!
