Sea World With Thomas

I was very excited to be a chaperone on Thomas' class field trip to Sea World. It was such a pretty day. Thomas was up and dressed by 6:30. He was so excited to ride a "fancy bus". We left school at 8:45 on charter buses. Thomas insisted on sitting in the row right behind the bus driver. Once we got there we were told what time to meet up at the buses and then set free. His class had so many chaperones that Thomas was the only child I had to be in charge of. We grouped up with two other boys and their moms. We got to see an animal show. Another parent arranged for us to get to pet the animals afterwards. It was so neat to touch a penguin! We also saw the Shamu show and to save time we ate our bagged lunch during the show. Thomas' favorite part was feeding the sting rays. It was a very fun and long day. Most importantly, it was a fun day of just being with Thomas. I loved how he held hands with his friends and seeing him interact with them made me realize how grown up he is getting.
