Anna went on her first school field trip this past Thursday, and had an absolute blast! They've been studying penguins in school all month, so went to the Aquarium at Moody Gardens to check out some macaroni and king penguins (among others!) for themselves. While the kids loved all the things they saw at Moody, they were just ecstatic about the penguins, and were giddy when the penguins swam up to them. Above, Anna's getting some face time with a macaroni penguin with her friends Ava and Kara.
Almost as tall as a King penguin (but he's still got about 10 lbs on her...)!
Here's the whole gang, as close as they were going to get to a group photo.
The kids not only thought the Aquarium was exciting, but thought the adventure of getting to ride a school bus on the field trip was almost as cool! Mommy had to miss this field trip, unfortunately, because of an unavoidable conflict at work, but Daddy had a wonderful time accompanying Anna on this trip. Hopefully we can both make it to the next one!
A BIG thank you to Anna's teachers and director for putting this together! Its pretty unusual for them to let classes with kids as young as Anna go on field trips, but they went out of their way to arrange for special logistics and approval so the kids could see the penguins they'd been studying. It was a wonderful time!
