Zach's Aquarium Fieldtrip



It all comes back around eventually.  With Zach and Olivia being one school year apart, I become very familiar with school work and fieldtrips (and the repetition).  I actually get confused by which child went on a specific fieldtrip, but I eventually get it all straighten out. 
Zach's Pre-K class visited the Georgia Aquarium this past week.  We are big fans and are very familiar with the Aquarium.  It was nice to see this group of kids enjoying it as well.  Each student was assigned a marine animal to research.  They presented their posters to their class days before the fieldtrip.  It was amusing to see them when we approached the viewing area for their animal.  Zach had the alligator.  A tour guide made note of the extra plexiglass at the top of the alligator tank.  A few months ago, after closing, a night watchman found one of the alligators roaming the exhibits after hours.  The alligator had managed to get up and over the plexiglass and walk the halls!  I guess he was saying 'hi' to his friends?!

As you can see, these kids had a blast and were very well behaved.  It was a great way to spend a gloomy, rainy day in Atlanta, plus we had lunch at one of my and Zach's favorite places...FIGO.  Mmmm. 
Since this is Olivia and Zach's last year at VCLC, I know our familiar fieldtrips (Pumpkin Patch, Aquarium, Planetarium and others) will come to an end.  Change is good, so we'll see what next year brings :-)
