Global Wildlife Photos

OKOK. I never uploaded pics from my camera so here are a couple that I took with my phone. I have been way behind in the posting but maybe over the next week

I can really catch up. These are two pictures of Elena feeding the animals and one of her and her friend Juliana.

Global Wildlife Field Trip

Today was Elena's first real field trip at school. Her class went to Global Wildlife. I went with them and we had a great time. We left the school around 8:30 and went straight there. I had Elena and her friend Julianna with me. When we got there we checked in and then had to wait about 20 minutes for the bus to leave. So we let the kids potty and run around a little bit. While they were playing, one of the staff brought out a surprise. A baby kangaroo had been born a few months before and she brought it out for the kids to interact with. They loved watching it hop all over the place. After that we loaded up. The kids had a ball. We had a giant bag of food for them and they loved feeding all of the animals. Elena was a little shy about feeding the animals at first, but it didn't take her long before she caught on. She loved it. It was a great day for this. The wind was blowing and the weather was just cool enough to make it nice. After the ride and animal feeding, the kids pulled out their lunches and we had a picnic lunch. We got back to the school about 1. This was a great field trip. I can't wait for the next one. I will try to post pictures of this later.

Halloween Night

Last Halloween post this year. This year for Halloween we had another hayride and bonfire at Tina's house. We all got there about 6 and it was probably almost 7 before we left on the hayride. The kids all looked so cute all dressed up. When we were on the hayride the kids had fun going from house to house trick-or-treating. Drac, though, looked like he had the most fun. He was running way ahead of everyone else making sure he got to the doors first.

I did have one freak out moment during the night. I lost my Canon DSLR camera. I flipped out and was making everyone go through all of the hay to look for it. The last person I saw with it was Barrett and he swore he would not have put it down or lost it. I was freaking out. I probably yelled at half of the people on the hayride because they weren't producing good enough results for me. Just as I started to hoof it in the dark back to all of the houses with or without a tractor and wagon, uncle Ricky opens the door on his truck and says, "Hey Kelly, somebody put a camera in here, is this it?" I was totally relieved; I wanted to kiss him. Evidentally it was Barrett's fault. When he got in the truck to move it out of the way, he sat the camera down. So I now apologize to all of the people that I offended with my camera hysterics. Back to the night, everyone looked so cute and I took a ton of pictures. I cannot possibly post all of the kids but here are some pics of just a few. Happy Halloween everyone!
