Field Trip Fun...

On May 4th Justin’s 1st grade class finished up a unit on “habitats” with a field trip to The Denver Zoo.

Dwight and I decided to sacrifice our day and volunteered to ride the big yellow bus with 40 first graders to share this adventure with them.

It turned out to be a wonderful sunny day. Dwight and I were “in charge” of 3 kids … Justin, his best friend Chris and Malek an exchange student from Libya.

Justin and Chris were great all day … but … let’s just say Dwight gave Malek a dose of “Mr. Michael’s Boot Camp” and rewarded him for a job well done with an ice cream cone at the end of the day.

It wasn’t until Malek was half way done with his ice cream that he informed us that he had NEVER had ice cream. Seriously I’m not sure the kid had ever had sugar … you would have thought his ice cream was made out of Red Bulls!! :) !!

Dwight and I both agreed next time we will follow the bus! The bus ride home was a long one!
