First Grade Field Trip

This year’s field trip was to Wild Adventures in Valdosta.

We met at the school at 7:00 a.m. and made it to Georgia when the park opened.

The day started off a little bumpy, with the first ride. It was one of those roller coasters that looks like it’s going to fall off the tracks and was probably not the best one for AB to ride first. She screamed – she cried- and she insisted she was riding NOTHING else that day. Nice.

We convinced her to get on a few other things and she enjoyed those…

But there was no convinving her to ride the big coaster, Swamp Thing. Her two little friends rode it over and over and over and begged her to try it, but she wouldn’t cave.

We took a break for lunch, and walked around the dinosaur exhibit, which was so neat!

We rode the safari train and then saw the tiger show…

Walked through the animal exhibit, saw the alligator show, and the kids even held a baby alligator…

We went through the bird exhibit- it was so neat- all the little birds would land on you if you had food. AB wanted NOTHING to do with that.

After all the animal shows and exhibits, we FINALLY convinced AB to try the Swamp Thing. She loved it. We rode a couple times together and then the kids rode it by themselves.

We hit a couple more things again on our way out, made our gift shop stop and literally closed the park down.

It was such a fun day!
