What a day!!! And what wonderful friends I had with which to share it!! My transitional kindergarten class joined me on a field trip to Raleigh, NC's Museum of Natural Sciences!!
I got there a wee bit early...and guess who I got to hold!!!
This is actually the retired "Sir Walter Wally." His name is Davidson. He's 9 years old...surpassing the usual lifespan. He was very snuggly!
Then my precious students arrived...in their groundhog hats made by one of our amazing Moms!!!!
Punxsutawney Phil and Gracie had their own "handlers" for the day!!
Aren't they adorable!!!! Those are the cutest "groundhogs" I've ever seen!!
Then we headed inside for a chance to see Sir Walter Wally (the star of the day!!) up close and personal!
And then a fun surprise!
I think he wanted to kiss me! I wasn't too sure about that!
Isn't he a cutie?????
This is Denise, Sir Walter's and Davidson's handler! She was wonderful...a sweet Sister in Christ!!
Waiting for storytime!
And back outside...look who was the
most stylin' in her groundhog hat!
And Sir Walter Wally's big moment!
And then...interviews with News 14!!!
It was a really fun day! Happy Groundhog Day everyone!!! Even if we have 6 more weeks of Winter!!!
I was thinking about you on Ground Hog's day. I didn't know that you'd get to meet (and cuddle) a celebrity! Your kids are too cute--thanks for sharing. It's made my day!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, Kristi! You rock, Miss Groundhog Ambassador! Looks like you had so much fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm envious. Oops! That's a sin, isn't it?
Well, maybe just a little envious.
Blessings,
