Playing with the Spartans

My new football team is called the Spartans. We are a really good team. We've already had two games and won both of them. We are rocking it. So far, I'd say where the best team in the league. The first game I was only involved in one place, but in our second game I played almost the whole first half on offense🏈. I play wide receiver so I'm supposed to catch passes and score touchdowns. Speaking of which, I almost caught a pass but it was just out of my reach. Even though I didn't catch the pass, I was still pretty pumped up because I was doing a great job at blocking my guy especially when they ran "44 power". When the game was over, my dad was still on concession stand duty. I had to stay there for the game after that but I didn't have to watch it. A lot of my friends were still there because their brothers were playing in the next game so I just played with them.

The zoo

One Tuesday, (which was the Tuesday after Labor Day) we had a homschool field trip to the San Antonio zoo. We went with a friend who had zoo passes that they got for Christmas. The first thing we saw was the flamingo.
We learned that flamingos get their pink from the pigment in the shrimp and 
algae that they eat. Then, we went to see the spectacle bear. The reason it's called a spectacle bear is because it has spectacles around it's eyes. Next, we went to see the Komodo dragon and the python.,

I'm pretty sure they don't put them in the same room, otherwise they probably eat each other.After that we went to see the monkey's. When we touched the glass, the monkeys jumped on the glass and started smiling at us! Last we saw the crocodiles. The The crocodile and the crockadial snapping turtle in the same cage because they won't mess with each other.
