Crocodiles, snakes, and lizards

On Friday morning we had our second field trip. We went to the
Kalimba Reptile farm where we saw all kinds of snakes, a tortoise,
lizard, all sizes of crocodiles, jumped on a trampoline and played on
some playground equipment. We took 6 cars and had 27 kids and about
24 adults. It included teachers, Felix (our artist), 3 mothers, Patty
family, Kamau family, Schwartz family, and the 2 families visiting
from CO. The cars were full but we all fit in. Benedict had called
and they said we could come even though they had lots of groups coming
and it would be busy.

I figured our kids are use to gathering at 7am and heading off to
school, so why not leave early and be there when it opens, and maybe
ahead of all the other folks. So we tried to leave at 7:30, although
it was probably closer to 8. I was the first one to drive into the
parking lot. We probably had the whole place to ourselves for an hour
or so before anyone else came. As we were leaving, there were lines
of kids waiting to come in. We left in time to get home for lunch.
So it worked out very well and fit into our study of the week of
reptiles.
