Sea World with Mrs. Blevins' class

There could be some alternate titles for this post: The Mother of all Field Trips; Mom vs. 20 kindergartners; Tomato Arms-Don't look now, but Mom sun screened the kids and forgot herself; and last but not least-Brandon and Madison are just too darn cute! You'll see the proof below.


Sea World with 3 classes of kindergartners=what I call the Mother of all Field Trips. Don't get me wrong, I would never trade my time in with my kids for the WORLD, but this Sea World trip is a LOT of kids. Our school was there, plus our neighboring school Bill Brown, and about 4 hundred others. I was only responsible for 2, thank goodness. I was given 2 children once they got off the bus at 9:45am and gave 2 back to the bus @ 1:30pm. My job was done. And, we had tons of FUN in those 3 hrs 45 minutes, which seemed like 8 hours and 45 minutes on kinder time. Here's a couple of highlight pictures from the trip.

First we all lined up, got maps, and the kids couldn't wait to find the first thing on the map-the fountain. That lasted about 22 seconds.

The two I was responsible for. One lives in my house. And is very cute.

Then they try and get ya! $4 for a tray of fish to feed these guys!

First time anyone in the Taylor family has ever been able to touch one! He was just hanging out letting all the kids pet him. (Notice my arm...praying that he didn't fall in!)

"Mom, what?"

So, what do you do when your mom says no way to paying the 4 bucks for fish? You let your sweet friend Madison give you all of hers cause fish are yucky.

Proof # 1. Too cute. Buddies. They were very upset that both of their parents were going and that they couldn't be in the same group. So, Madison's mom & I stuck together. She's tons of fun anyway. :)

and finally, proof # 3. My favorite. Friends.

Gotta stick my head in, proof I was there. (Madison's twin brother, Brandon, is beside her. Don't even get me started on how we keep the Brandon's straight.)

BIG shout out to teachers, especially the ones @ Arlon Seay. You rock. I don't know how teachers have the energy, all the time for these energetic kids! It is a huge blessing to have you guys help us raise our children. You have no idea how much I am grateful to your time, heart & patience!!
