Aeryka had her 1st grade field trip to the zoo. As an extra special bonus, she got to take Daddy along (actually, he goes on the 1st grade zoo trip with all of the kids), and they got to spend the day together. Daddy wanted her to pose with the white crocodile (pictured above), but Aeryka apparently thought that the glass was not thick enough. After a whirl-wind tour of the zoo (the whole thing in 1-1/2 hours), we sat for lunch. Well, actually, Daddy sat, Aeryka ate then played. It was fun to watch her play with her school friends. It didn't take long to notice that Aeryka is the leader of the pack (I hope that always is a good thing!). Even our friend Sarah who came on the trip also noticed that Aeryka had a following. When it was time to go home, Daddy had signed Aeryka out to go home with him (meaning that she would have had a half-day of school), but she decided it would be more fun to go back on the bus with her friends and spend the rest of the day at school. Mrs. Johnson thought this was funny. After removing the knife from his heart, Daddy decided that it would be OK with him (maybe a little) and realized that an hour on the bus with screaming 1st graders has got to be more fun than riding home with a boring old man!
