Marcus went on a field trip



Time for the 2nd graders field trip to the zoo. Andy went as a chaperone since he was able to go straight to work after the kids got loaded back onto the bus. Apparently, lots of schools decided to go to the zoo on Friday, because there were rows of school buses in the parking lot and it took the teachers an extra easy 30 minutes to unload the students. There were enough chaperones that each adult was able to have 2 students attached to them. Andy, Marcus and another boy walked around, saw the animals and wandered into a closed exhibit area. (The zookeepers told them to leave. I guess they should have stayed on the main paths and not tried to take a short cut.) Marcus said his favorite part was seeing the seals. He said they were making their barking sounds. Maybe it was time for them to eat. Sounds like they had fun. No other picture of Marcus to show you. Andy followed the teacher's directions of taking pictures of the animals and did not take any of Marcus except for this one at the little shark tank. I was angry and bitter about having a bunch of animal pictures on the camera and only one of Marcus that was the back of his head, but am slowly getting over it :-). I'm glad they had fun and our schedules let us be able to be involved.
