First Field Trip!

Exciting week for us! The girls had their first field trip and thus, their first SCHOOL BUS ride! I was lucky and got to be one of the parents to go on the trip. We went to our local aquarium at Cabrillo Beach for Pre-School days and had a blast! Getting ready to load the bus! Such excitement! We combined the AM and PM classes into the one trip.
Sitting on the bus- ready to take off- everyone cheered as the bus started to move (I cheered because their was air conditioning on this bus! Brilliant! We had record highs on Monday and Tuesday this week- we hit 100 degrees! We needed that a/c!)

Once we got to the aquarium we got to go through a series of learning stations about the ocean and ocean life. Below the kids are pretending to be whales jumping out of the water.
The highlight of the trip was hatching grunion fish!


Madeline was successful at getting a fish- everyone else just got to the egg stage.


Emily looks for fish...

After the stations we got to go into the aquarium for a bit- I had my 3 girls and then 3 other students (Just call me Kate! LOL) Here we are entering the shark exhibit.

We found these grunion cut outs and everyone had to get a picture...
Emily and Maddie make fish lips...
We had a lot of fun and can't wait for our next field trip in May to the LA Zoo!!!!
