Field Trip
On of our favorite field trips is to the zoo. Austin’s “zoo” is really more of an animal rescue center and on the other side of town from us. There’s another animal rescue center we frequent out in Cedar Creek called the Capital of TX Zoo. We also like to drive to Waco or San Antonio for the larger zoos.
Hopefully all these fun zoo animal activities will give you hours of play. Follow me on Pinterest for more ideas!
