Seattle Aquarium Field Trip

I decided to be brave and be a chaperone for Taylor's sixth grade field trip.  The original trip was to a play in January, but it was snowed out and cancelled.  Yesterday we hopped on a bus and headed down to the pier in Seattle.  With 600 sixth graders from our school, and other schools too, it was a crazy place!  I saw one small family and told them they had picked the wrong day to come to the Aquarium.  She agreed, and said she has just been running them over with her stroller!  
I must say I did have a great group of kids.  They stayed right with me or at least kept coming back and checking in to make sure they knew where I was.  I even got some nice thank you letters from them!

Did you see the sting ray?  Taylor took this photo.  He is half buried in the rocks.  It was a fun day and she wasn't even embarrassed to be seen with me!

Fun! I just remembered I never finished my email back to you. I need to do that since you live in my old stomping grounds now! We're up there all the time. We'll have to see you some time, that would be fun :)
