Jackson had a field trip to the Marine Mammal Institute in Gulfport on Monday, and although the first picture doesn’t convey it, he had a really good time.
They touched lizards, fish, and horseshoe crabs. There were games, demonstrations, and friends.Next, they took us out to the pools to see the two dolphins, Bo and Buster. A guy was giving a speech about what all goes on at the Institute, and how they rehabilitate hurt animals, and then a dolphin jumped, and he lost all the kids. I’m not sure why he even bothered to give his speech after that.Seeing dolphins up close always trumps anything else that’s happening…well, in my book it does. Oh, and about 50 other 2nd graders agree!
