it's field trip day!!!

on friday, gabe's class had their end of the year field trip. this year we went to the woodland park zoo in seattle! fortunately, there were about 10 parents that volunteered to chaperone, so that meant each parent only had 2 kids!! that made for a really enjoyable field trip! i had gabe and one of his friends, gunnar, who is always very hyper - but creative amanda came up with an energy blaster game that wore poor gunnar out pretty quick! during the last few weeks the kids had been researching a specific animal, doing a report, and presenting their information back to the class. so the idea of going to the zoo was to not only have a fun day, but to view the animal each child had researched and then the child would fill the chaperone in on the animal! gabe's animal was the komodo dragon and gunnar's was the bear. both boys did an excellent job presenting their facts back to me--i never knew there was so much to know about the komodo dragon or bear! we had a great day! while gabe and i were busy at the zoo, grady had an exciting day too! he went to josiah's house for a day full of play!! after we picked up grady, all we heard for the rest of the day was jojo this and jojo that!! he had a great day too!!
