Craiger only had one field trip this year for 2nd grade. I signed up to be a chaperone for this trip ages before it actually happened. I promised him I'd be at his only field trip. I felt SO bad that his field trip fell on the same day as Taya's talent show.
However, we had a blast. His field trip was at the Birmingham Zoo. We had a rough start. What usually takes about an hour to drive took over 3 hours due to construction on the freeway & on the zoo itself. Instead of starting our field trip at 9 am as planned, we weren't exiting the buses until close to noon. We had to leave the zoo by 1:30, so it was a mad dash to see "all we could see" in an hour & a half.
I was in charge of Craiger & a sweet little girl that just moved into the school district. She was very quiet, but adorable. She had never been to a zoo before so she loved it. . . once she realized everything was in cages where they couldn't eat you.
We literally did a mad dash around the entire zoo trying to see everything we could possibly see in one hour. And the kids loved it. It was a race to the animals & they enjoyed the excitement.
I loved being with Craiger & spending that one on one time with him.
His favorite animal was the red panda. Look how cute they are together.
At the very end of our trip, I let them both ride the carousel. They got a kick out of it.
Even though it was short lived, we had a blast together.
