Petco Field Trip

Group Shot
Everyone petting a guinea pig

Monday we had our first homeschool field trip. We could have gone to others if we had a working car/driving Mommy. But without the working car, the second is impossible. This trip we could take a bus to. So for us this was an all afternoon event. It was a small group, and all the kids except one were somewhat quiet. Until the reptile section. Justin particularly enjoyed that one. The ferrets were popular also. Since we arrived early, the kids visited Santa in the mall, just to tell him what they wanted, not for a picture. $14.00 just for a single 4x67! They were each given a stuffed bear in pajamas, holding it's own stuffed reindeer. Jacob and Leanna particularly like this. When we got off the bus a woman walked up to me and handed me $10.00 and said, "this is for the children." Just out of nowhere, and I was so caught off guard that I accepted it, thanking her of course. I actually had no money at all, so that was really nice and it worked out well. I was able to get the kids drinks afterwards, which was nice because we were going from one appointment to the next that day, with no time to stop at home in between.
