We didn't realize it was Elephant Day at the zoo, but had an extra fun time exploring these animals. The boys colored and painted, donated $.96 in recognition of the 96 elephants killed per day in Africa, and learned a lot about poaching (well, Trenton did!) Apparently Atlanta's the number 1 airport for ivory trafficking. Sad.
The boys' gifts from their trip. B got Ginger a stuffed giraffe and Trenton got something that does something. He's notorious for the strange items. Ironically, I made elephant sandwiches for lunch with a cookie cutter not even knowing about elephant day.
Bennett's favorite part was watching the elephants get bathed. Trenton liked going on the mystery hunt with Daddy.
