Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!
I hope your students enjoy the Tacos. Yumm!
Donald in the sombrero is so cute. Lexi really regrets not buying that one.
Wish me luck, it's my inspection day..........I'd rather be on a AK safari!
Donald is cute in his sombrero. He sat on my desk in the afternoon.
I hope the inspection went well.
If I lived close to Disney World, I think I would go over to AK for afternoon walks on the trails and a ride on the safari after school quite frequently.
I guess I never thought how big a giraffe's vertebrate would be, but that is simply gigantic!!!
Have fun celebrating Cinco de Mayo today! We get to look forward to more storms.
We didn't have storms, so the kids got to play outside this afternoon. They did postpone our field day from Friday to Monday, though, because of the forecast.
I think I would enjoy working in the education department at Disney World. I love to study about animals, and I could share my enjoyment of that and my fondness for Disney all at once..
This would be the perfect picture for an AK brochure...ad...etc!
Go MeMom!
Happy Cinco de Mayo!! Aw..if I was still in high school, we'd be having a fiesta today in Spanish class!
I took Spanish when I was going to base schools (Air Force) because it was just a standard part of the curriculum. I took French in high school, but I remember just about nothing, and I don't think the French even speak French any more. For whatever reason that I truly do not understand, in the school I was at at the time, the kids who made A's and B's took French, and the rest of the kids took Spanish. We would have all been better off with Spanish!
It's great when they do the whole big opening. I guess the drive-by was cool for those who had never seen the whole production. If you make it to an AK opening, or anyone else that is going, you guys can report back to tell if you had the whole show or the drive-thru version.
Ooooh, I want tacos for lunch! MeMom, could you send one up here for me?
Sadly, we ended up with no tacos. I ended up leaving too late to be able to make them, so I was going to order them at Taco Bell and go and pick them up on my planning time. When I called for the price, it was too much. My team teacher and I do stuff like this together, since I have both groups for Social Studies and Science. It was going to be $45, and he did not give a discount for school groups, so I couldn't afford that. We decided we'll do something on Friday to cap off the week. We're continuing our study of Mexico all week anyway, so it'll still be relevant. We'll probably have nachos and drinks for a Fun Friday activity. I can do both for less than $45, and it'll be a good Friday thing to keep dangling over their heads all week.
That idea has now turned into Nachos on Ocho de Mayo!
We're focusing on Mexico all week, so it'll be just fine.
The kids do love the Disney touches. I have the plush dolls in the long window, a Disney calendar on the bulletin board, and Disney popcorn buckets to hold crayons and pencils.
I have ridden Everest once. It was a little too much for me, to be honest. I will probably ride it again someday, but I'm not in a hurry for it. I would have ridden it in March when my friend went, if she had really wanted to, but she didn't care one way or the other, so we didn't. She likes milder coasters, so Big Thunder Mountain was perfect for us. We rode it twice.
I hope not.
And if he did, I hope he will not be posting it!
*********************************
I think I told you guys a lie.
I know I did, actually.
I said I'd post Kilimanjaro Safari pictures last night, but I didn't end up doing that.
I didn't come through on tacos or on pictures yesterday.
I am just a bum.
Anyway, here's my explanation and apology, for anyone who checked back in to see animals:
It's all John's fault!
He went out of town for work, so Jill and the girls ended up coming up here. Since we won't all be together for Mother's Day, and it's rare that all three of my kids are together at once, we called the boys and told them to meet us for an early dinner. We all went to the Rainforest Cafe at Opry Mills and ate good meals while wild animals roamed around us and thunderstorms crackled overhead.
I did take pictures, so I'll let Jill load those this morning when she gets up, and she can either put them on her herself, or I will do it tonight.
We shared a plate of very delicious cheesesticks, and then we each got something different to eat. I took pictures, but who knows how good they'll be. If they're bad, I'll blame the lighting and Brooklynn wiggling on the seat next to me. If they're good, I'll give the credit to pure luck!
It was nice to have everyone around the same table, so that was a good Mother's Day gift.
Trent said it was too much of a teaser for him - too much like being in Disney World, and he was ready to go to now! His secret enjoyment is beginning to come to the surface and not be quite as secret anymore. He admits to browsing through my Birnbaum's if it is left out on a table. He's also becoming quite interested in the plans for July, although he's still mostly interested in the eating plans.
Anyway, after dinner, we went to get Trent a new laptop, and then we met up with a friend that hadn't had a chance to see Bella yet.
So, I apologize for no safari pictures yesterday. I don't foresee anything stopping me from doing them this evening.
And just so you'll trust me this time, I present to you the first animal.
A Hidden Kudu!
Have a Wonderful Wednesday, and I hope to see you back here tonight for a safari.
For real.
Unless John messes that up again.
Okay, I'll take it. If that's the only thing he could find, we are doing a lot right.
