stingrays

i signed anne up for a fun little deal at the zoo.
it was called wake up with the rays.
it was a family event. (aka-need to be a with a parent type of event)
we had to be at the zoo on saturday at 7:30.
thats not too bad.
we have seen the stingrays once before.
she loved it.
so i knew that she would love this little class.
it was feeding the rays and then having breakfast ourselves at the zoo.
fun. cool. memory making.
we got there bright and early.
we found the spot.
the lady says, OH HI! ARE YOU READY TO FEED THE RAYS THEIR BREAKFAST?!
i see anne give the lady (who was way to chipper and loud for 7am) a half smile and she reached for her skirt.
she does this thing when she is nervous-just grabs whatever is on her bottom half and knots/balls/twists it up.
great, i thought. 
its time to walk in...
she goes.  but she doesn't touch, or feed the stingrays.
i did.  it wasn't bad.  the feeding was weird, and made me really wish i was wiser about how stingrays eat...but i made it out with my fingers, so that is a plus.
not too long after we got there (30 minutes)
we were taken to the dining area where we were given breakfast.
it was fine.
it was short.
but it was good.
as the time as passed, anne has talked about it.
but i don't know if i would pay extra to get up waaay early, and eat cafeteria eggs and bacon.
live and learn.
hopefully she'll remember it.
it was good, just to be with her.
Kodak moment in front of the seal statues.
