We had our first official kindergarten field trip a little over a week ago to the Santa Monica Aquarium. Our awesome teacher said that siblings were welcome so Owen played hooky and joined us for the day. Its amazing that although Santa Monica is not that far from where we live it took us over an hour each way, plus we were down there for a solid 4-5 hours so ended up being a full day event. The only downside: the never ending heat wave we seem to be experiencing here in cali. Its october, I'm done.
Anyways.
We had a chance to play by the pier for a while before the field trip started so we had a great time hanging with our friends.
Owen and Piper:
Team classmates plus siblings - love these friends.
Snack stop. Always eating.
It was great to have the whole aquarium just to our class. We got to explore and touch everything. I have no pictures of Scott as he was running around with his buddies from exhibit to exhibit. Owen took it a little slower so I was able to get a few shots of him.
A whale rib bone.
Using our senses to explore sea stars.

Mine were DONE by this time and I ended up piggy backing Owen all the way back across the sand. It also didn't help that there were beach goers enjoying the waves and surf and my boys were pretty pissed they weren't allowed to go swimming.
On the way home we witnessed a pretty bad car accident so after stopping for that and then stopping again for the bathroom I figured we should just take a break and get some ice cream at Malibu Country Market - perfect cap to our long, but successful first field trip!!
