South Bay Tiny Trekkers -Palo Alto Junior Museum:January 20th, 2010

South Bay Tiny Trekkers awoke to a rainy day on Thursday - the first downpour of our Tiny Treks school year. We canceled our planned outing to Heritage Oaks Park in Los Altos and headed for the Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo instead. The Junior Museum & Zoo is a place where children come to explore, discover, create and play. The Zoo is home to more than 50 species of animals--about 200 specimens in all. Some of the animals include bobcats, raccoons, jungle bats, hedgehogs, ferrets, snakes, fresh and salt water fish and invertebrates, some ducks and other birds. We met our friends and explored the museum's buttons to push, balls to roll, blocks to build and so much more. We ventured outside to the zoo where we climbed onto great big stone frogs under an umbrella and shared a snack and zoo stories and then visited the creatures around the zoo. It was great rainy day fun.
