Kindergarten Field Trip

We went to the Living Planet Aquarium 

We had to meet at the school at 7:15 this morning. The bus left at 7:30. It was a cold morning but we were excited to get on our way. 

There were 4 Kindergarten classes from our school. Each class wore a different color so that they would be more easily located. Seth's teacher made each student in his class a matching shirt. She is amazing. 

It was fun to see the amazement on their faces. 

These were the 5 kids in my group. They were all great behaved and we had an awesome time. 

 This was one of the favorite areas. It is in the shark tanks. They had about 4 sharks that were about 4 feet long. We went to this area twice.

This is a Gardner snake that the tour guide allowed all the students to touch. They all loved to feel the different textures on the top and underside of the snake. 

The sting ray tank was the greatest hit of all. The students were able to pet the sting rays. I was surprised that the sting rays were allowing all these hand in the tank and were not scared away. There was a ledge around the edge of the tank and the sting rays would almost swim around in circle and be petted. They would also sometimes stick their heads up out of the water on the edges. 

We probably spent a half hour standing around this tank. We had a great time. One of the girls in my group said that she had a great time, but wished would could have stayed longer then a half hour. I told her we had been there for over 2 hours. She could not believe it. The time really did go by fast. We had more then six kids fall asleep on the bus on the way back to school. It was funny to watch as their heads bobbed around and we stopped them falling out of their seats. It was a fun trip.
