Zoo Classes with Oma

Oma spent a few days with us and took Lucy and Ella to zoo classes!  Lucy's was called "Junior Vet" and was all about taking care of the animals at the zoo.  They heard a story about some penguins who swallowed coins that people had thrown into the habitat and needed surgery to have the coins removed.  Oma set up an OR in the playroom and Lucy and Ella did surgery on some stuffed penguins who had also swallowed some coins!  The girls felt very official, wearing their surgeons' caps and saying things like "stat!" and "we need to order a CT!"  I'm happy to say that after an afternoon of recovery, both penguins are doing just fine.

Ella's class was called "Chameleons and Snakes."  Here she is in her chameleon costume, complete with a super long tongue for catching bugs.

Thanks for all the fun, Oma!
