sleepover at the zoo for Jessica's school auction

For Jessica's school auction, we hosted a sleepover at one of the local zoos.  Jim and Jessica got to go, while Jamison and I stayed at home as Jamison was too young to attend.  Everyone gathered around for the welcome.

Then, the kids broke down into smaller groups for various activities.

They got to meet a few animals too.

Then, it was time for a night hike in the zoo, where the kids practiced walking blindfolded and also got to see some of the nocturnal animals.

Here are a few animals that Jim discovered.

Despite a late night, Jessica was excited to be at the zoo in the morning.

The group got to meet more animals in the morning.

Here's a quick photo of the whole group.

And, they went on another tour to see more animals and fed the farm animals.
