This was a nice little start to our field trip season. (We had a family barbeque last week with most of the families in the group.) Of course, it left DD wanting "a pet" (I think she'd be happy with most anything, but specifically asked for a lizard of some sort.) That's all fine and dandy but 1) we move a lot and travel out of state on a regular basis, so that needs to be considered,  2) no pet I've seen takes care of itself , and 3) she hasn't convinced us yet.



I know our field trip group leader said she picked this field trip because it came up as a "free trip" at the Field Trip Factory. (Our group tries to rotate free trips with ones that cost something so everyone has something they can afford to attend. I think that is a GREAT idea!)
