Slapinions

Having joined the class midyear, Smiley was treated to his first field trip a mere week into his scholastic career. He went to the zoo, and Lisa chaperoned.

For the day Lis bought him a Spiderman lunchbox, which he went nuts over. He also went nuts over FINALLY riding a school bus!

According to Lisa the animals were in rare form, coming right up to the edge of the exhibits.

At the zoo the group split up. Technically Lisa was in charge only of Smiley, but in practice several parents and their kids grouped together.

Note the signs around the kids necks. They  put a sticker on each animal on the sign when they saw it in person.

Smiley had a blast, was well behaved, enjoyed the animals, and walked the whole day without complaint. Of course, he fell asleep on the bus on the way home!

A great introduction to field trips for the little guy!
