A Day at the Zoo!!

Today, momstown Oshawa - Port Perry teamed up with momstown Whitby - Ajax to conquer the Toronto Zoo! We were a little nervous in the days leading up to the exciting field trip we'd planned because the weather forcast was anything but promising. But it turned out to be an amazing day! The sun was shining and the air was just cool enough to get the animals up and moving around!

Our little monkeys, were able to get very close to their relatives! But most importantly, getting out to the zoo gave the little ones an opportunity to build friendships!

We saw lots of different animals! There were several favourites, but one of the best was the polar bears! We were amazed at their size and beauty, and just couldn't get enough!

So we decided to learn more about the "world's largest carnivore!" The zoo keeper showed us some polar bear hides that we were all eager to feel. Did you know that the polar bear's fur consists of underfur as well as hairs that appear white - tan but are really transparent?!

After we saw all the animals, and learnt a few things about them, it was play time!!! The Toronto Zoo has a great "Kids Zoo" with lots of cool things to do and discover!

We all had such a great time that we cannot wait for the next time that we can all get together for a fun-filled day out! The best news of all? With 25+ momstown exclusive events per month...it won't be long before we do!
