Ed-zoo-cate at Zoo Montana

Aaliyah, Maya, Lily and Sage all went to the Ed-zoo-cate at Zoo Montana today where they got to see animals up close. From hissing cockroaches, a snake, a lizard, and a owl they got to learn about the animals and even pet the lizard! Below are pictures from the program and also pictures from when we walked around the zoo afterward.

I know all the girls had a blast! I'm hoping the council does a program like this again next year!
