MEGA field trip!

Noah's 4th grade class took a mega field trip last week! They went to Louisville for two days and visited museums, the zoo, a baseball game and more.

The first day, they stopped to watch the Louisiville Bats play ball...
then picnic lunch at a park....
then to the Slugger Museum..
then check-in at the Lville Zoo for OVERNIGHT! ...including a Night Safari and then the next day a Morning Safari....(Noah got to sleep in the Snake room! ick!!)
Then to Churchill downs and the museum...and probably more I'm forgetting.

Here's the jumbled lines Noah spurted out in excitement after getting off the bus:

"It was AWESOME! I can't pick my favorite thing! Sniffin' bags, Made an owl, Lions were sleeping, Slept with the snakes, Learned interesting facts, $15 concessions at the ball game, Millionaire seats, A lot of science involved with derby racing, Science class in the basement of derby, people who work at the zoo...for FREE!, I can show you everything at the zoo now. you will amazed! I found stuff you didn't know about."

He was amazed at learning how bats were made. He learned a valuable lesson on budgeting, as he spent $15 of his allotted $20 within the first 30 minutes of his trip...at the ballpark concession stand! Of course, he loved spending the night at the zoo and rubbing it in that he slept with snakes and spiders.

The funniest part of his trip happened when he got home. We sent him with a disposable camera, which he enjoyed snapping pictures along the way. When he got home, he said, "So how do I see these pictures now?" I chuckled, and said, "You can't. We have to get them developed."
He looked at me as if I had two heads..."what is developed?" I explained but he still really didn't get it.

The next morning he asked me again. Then he said, "Well, if they try to give me somebody else's pictures, I'll know because I remember what I took!"
