For the end-of-year field trip for Joshua's preschool - we went to visit an
Alligator Farm!!
This man was a conservationist who helps the alligator population. He told us more about alligators than I ever knew! The little 3, 4 and a few 5 yr. olds were pretty patient while he taught us a LOT. There are 4 different kinds of alligators in the world, and 3 of them were there. The 4th is very rare and endangered.
We got to see a video about how they get the alligator eggs, while fending off protective mama alligator - in order to bring her babies to the farm, so that they will have a better chance of surviving to adulthood.
Everyone got to pet this alligator - and a little baby one too.
(I did not!)
Joshua was all for it though!
Here is his class picture - with his teacher (Mrs. Penny) in the middle.
She was Jacob's preschool teacher when he was Joshua's age (so sweet)!
Speaking of sweet - look at that expression.
Preschoolers are too cute.
This has been Joshua's very best friend in preschool - Elliot.
After we all ate at picnic tables under big shady trees - all the kiddos got to feed the catfish in the pond.
Alligators and catfish?? Sounds like the menu at many New Orleans restaurants!!
