In the Beginning.... Faith's class had a field trip to the San Diego Wild Animal Park. We left school early, chaperones all matched up and cars at the ready. I had Faith, Michaela, Dylan and Noah. Dylan and Noah were assigned to me #1, because I am familiar with the class and in particular these two boys, and #2, because I'm not afraid to say NO with a decisive tone to my voice. I must admit to using that decisive tone on more than one occasion on this trip.
These are our night-time tent-mates. They are lovely girls who tell great round-robin stories, drink vast quantities of hot chocolate, and (mostly) tried to eat small crawling critters. It was a good night had by most.
This is a 5 year-old alligator that we all got to pet. Now, where else in the world can you pet a baby alligator and smile while doing it?
Of course, you MUST visit the petting zoo when at the park. Faith is particularly fond of deer. And, may I say, the deer are equally fond of her!
This is the grand finale - minus a slurpee in the car on the way home. Weariness certainly lowered the volume in the car on the way - whew! A good time was had by all. I must commend the Wild Animal Park for a superbly organized, well-rounded, well-fed outing. It was informative, fun, nicely paced, and refreshing. I reccomend it highly!

What fun! Faith is growing up so quickly - what a fabulous memory for both of you!
Cool, I've heard the Wild Animal Park sleep-over is pretty neat. And I do appreciate a person who knows when and how to say NO.
How fun is that to spend the night at the Wild Animal Park. Looks like you guys a great time.
