Amelia's 3rd grade field trip to the New Orleans Zoo and Aquarium. A field trip from 7am -5pm with five third grade classes? Sure, why not sounds like fun! Fun yes, exhausting absolutely.
Best Friends Forever-Amelia and Mckenzie.
Thankfully we had beautiful weather and it wasn't hot yet but holy cow, I think every school in LA and MS were at the zoo that day. I only had three kids to keep track of but I was one more crowd away from tying them all to my belt loops.
Yay Oak Park!! We also went to the aquarium but I left my camera on the bus for that half of the day, whoops. Just pretend you are looking at lots of pictures of sting rays, sharks and sea horses. We also happened to be in the midst of French Quarter festival during the field trip so a 15 minute bus ride from zoo to aquarium took about an hour. It also didn't help that our bus didn't see a little Mercedes trying to sneak next to our giant coach bus and well, let's just say little Mercedes got a little smooshed. Never try to take on a coach bus...you will lose. But we got to dance around to some great music during the festival so everything ended up just dandy. As we were driving through the French Quarter I pleaded with the teachers to make a pit stop at Cafe Du Monde for some beignets or at least stop and get a Hurricane drink. No dice. Rules schmules.
