An interesting field trip

So this Monday school was field trip Monday.  I don't do the scheduling, I just follow Crystal's instructions :) 

We went to Natural Bridge Wildlife Park .  William is working on the wildlife pin for Contenders for the Faith, and this was intended to fulfill part of the requirement.  The highlight of the day for him was seeing the rhinos.  The kid loves rhinos, and he's never seen one before.  He was sooooo excited.  The highlight of the day for me was sneaking a stuffed rhino out of the gift shop.  I paid for it first.  But I want to surprise William with it.  He's gonna love it. 

Another highlight was feeding the zebra that tried to eat my watch.  The lowlight was when the big elk thing slobbered all over my hand then wouldn't come close enough for me to wipe it off on him.  That and the car overheating so that we had to blast the heat on an already not cold day. 

So next Monday, William is going to give a presentation on the park at our Contenders meeting.  I hope to get video.  It should be pretty cute.

Tomorrow for Thursday school I'm administering the CAT-5 K level to both boys.  I'm really interested in seeing the results.
