Maison's school took a trip today to the Niabi Zoo over in the Quad Cities. We have never been there before and man were we missing out. It's a fabulous little zoo! A zoo employee did a presentation on the "Big Cats" for about an hour. Man was it interesting! Did you know that a Jaguar is basically a black Cheetah? If you look at one of the pictures closely in the video, you can actually see it's spots! Let's see...did you know that cats of that size can't be declawed? Their nails help to relive the pressure of their weight off of their paws! If you want to know more, just ask Maison! He's a pro!

We ate lunch at the zoo and finished with a zoo scavenger hunt. The kids had a great time, saw some really amazing things, and learned a ton!
