Field Trip Day

On Friday I (Derrick) had the chance to go along with Silas on his PreK1 class field trip to the zoo.  It turned out that the same day Lia's Kindergarten class had a field trip to the museum at the Palacio Nacional. Here's what she reports:

"First we went to the museum and went to some rooms in it. We saw clay models. After we saw some stuff we got in the cars and went to the Parque Luis Alfonso. Then we got back in the cars because they were fumigating and went to Pizza Hut and we had pizza there and played and we also got to have Pepsi and then we went back to the class to go home. My favorite part of the day was going on the field trip."

Here are some pictures from the zoo trip with Silas.

Silas, happy to find a turkey by the path in the zoo. 

Some baby crocodiles and lizards.

The butterfly garden was a highlight of the zoo visit.

The attempt at a class picture. (Multiple people trying to organize this, I stayed in the background and tried not to add to the confusion.) 

And wrapping up the field trip at the big McDonald's along Carretera Masaya. For me, this was also a nice chance to visit more with some of the parents. A fine first field trip experience; I'm looking forward to many more.
