Ever's Cheetah Project and SeaWorld Field Trip

Ever had a school project where she had to research an animal and make a model of it (preferably from recycled materials). It was due shortly after we got back from Pat's Run, and I had to help her make the model at the last minute. Thanks to Google and Pinterest, I found a cheetah that was doable, and I was quite proud of how it turned out.

Then I saw the pictures Mr. Quarrie posted of the other kids' models, and man, were they impressive! They had habitats and everything. 

There was something at the school one night where we could go and look at all the kids' models, but I couldn't make it. Ever presented her project to me at home later.

She and her classmate, Monroe, made a poster together because they both researched cheetahs.

First grade also had a SeaWorld field trip in May. Ever really desperately wanted me to chaperone. As in, she was crying the morning of and threatening not to go. I had volunteered to chaperone but not quickly enough, so they didn't need me. I could have gone if I'd wanted to pay for my own ticket (discounted, but still) on top of paying a babysitter for the littles, so I told Ever no. 

Of course she had no problem once she was on her way. She ended up being in her friend Kai's group, and Kai's mom was with them and sent me pictures. I was very pleased to see that Ever kept her hat on all day, in accordance with my instructions (on account of the sun phobia).
