Field Trip to PetSmart

My kids (especially Will) are SO into animals these days.
A couple of evenings ago, I decided to take them on a "field trip" to PetSmart. It was a HUGE hit!

I explained 2 ground rules:

1. We are LOOKING at pets, not TAKING HOME pets
2. We DO NOT get out of the grocery cart.

Rule #2 was key to the trip's success. The kids stayed completely contained & we all just had the best time checking out the animals. I think they would have been content to stay all day long!

Fish

Kitties

Birds

Rodents

What more could you want out of life?!

I love going to the pet store too! Unfortunately, they don't listen to me as well as your kids do. We can't even enter Wal-Mart without having to view the fish.
