[Previous entry: "Field Trip"] [Next entry: "Accolade"] 04/29/2005: "Frogs, Bus Rides, and One Heck of a Good Book"
We had a great time on the fieldtrip yesterday! Well, outside of the bus ride from Hell. Anytime you are on a bus with fifty fourth graders, it's Hell. We went to the Ferbank Science museum, which had this really, really cool exhibit on frogs. They even had an Ecudorian blow dart gun and the darts on display. I had five girls in my group. I made them all read how the natives get the poison from the frogs for the darts before I'd let them leave the exhibit. One kid said, "That makes me sick." (They roast them while they're alive so they'll sweat.) BWAHAHA. There was also a fabulous shell display. And the IMAX movie was on the sea with Sting doing all the music. Very cool. There was some incredible footage of surfers riding the waves. Makes me wish I had an ounce of co-ordination because I think surfing would be such an awesome experience. Alas, not in this lifetime.

I feel a little queasy just thinking about being on that bus. LOL! I'm glad you survived it and that the rest of the fieldtrip was fun. Hope you enjoyed your manicure. on Sunday, May 1st, Jen said
I did enjoy the manicure and actually my fave is the pedicure. But that guy started to massage my legs and they hadn't seen a razor in a couple of days--I just took pity on him and said, "No, you don't need to do that." He nearly fell to the ground in gratitude. |
