Over fall break, it was Stephen's turn to bring home the class giraffe, Gerald. Stephen's assignment was to take Gerald fun places and record their story in the class Gerald Journal. First, Stephen wanted to review Gerald's story with him.
Stephen helped Gerald find some lunch in the front yard... and tried to pinch a ladybug along the way. Stephen says that Gerald liked the hosta leaves best.
But he also tried the Southern magnolia, the redbud and the silver maple.
After Gerald was full from his leaf lunch, Daddy took Stephen and Gerald kite flying across the street at St. John United Methodist Church. They have a nice big grassy area.
The highlight of fall break was a trip to the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere. Gerald helped Stephen navigate.
Stephen and Rockam loved the funny noises that the Gibbons made. They were a lot crazier than Curious George.
They also spent a good bit of time watching the Meerkat exhibit. The meerkats spent a good deal of time watching us too.
Stephen and Rockam both took a turn in the tunnel to get a feel for what its like to be a meerkat.
Gerald's highlight of the trip was meeting his own kind.
The fun day ended with a ride on the carousel. Stephen chose the giraffe in honor of Gerald, who was too little to ride.
