Our field trip to Petco in April was a blast. The children were so respectful to all of the animals and were so excited to get to pick out a suckerfish. We ended up getting two for our huge fish tank.
We were there in perfect timing to watch the Petco employee feed the reptiles. She was great at explaining to the children what she was doing and why what she was doing. She sprinkled white powder onto the crickets, and told us that it was full of vitamins for each of the reptiles.
She also sprayed water for the reptiles that like a wet environment.
We all were very excited about the chameleon!
P was so excited to have it on her shirt, it even started to climb up.
It was so awesome to have one of the Petco employees help us with an unofficial guided tour!
There was a super cute fluffy dog who was going to be getting groomed. She was a great dog and enjoyed her hair cut very much. It was fun to watch.
We were so respectful of everything in the store until the very end, when we stopped by the doggy beds and our imaginations ran wild. We wanted to pretend to be dogs. So some our friends tried out some of the doggy beds.
N climbed into the igloo and fit perfectly. It was hilarious! All the children thought it was so funny and want to give it a try too.
SMILE! A very special thank you to all of our parent, grandparent, nanny and teacher volunteers, and D's big brother (who carried our suckerfish very safely back to school). Without you this walking field trip would not have been possible.
Hugs,
Kristina
