A field trip, another adventure and the blue man group

This weekend has been really busy! Friday I went on a field trip with some of the world history classes to the Getty Center in LA. This place is amazing! I'm really not all that into classic artwork, but they have quite a collection. I was really impressed by the grounds and gardens. They are an exhibit all by themselves! Best of all, it's totally free! Here's some pictures...




Of course, we had the world's craziest bus driver. She was speeding the entire time and all four of the chaperones were constantly trying to back seat drive and hit the brakes... She didn't slow down until the last minute and was always only about an inch away from the other cars! At least we survived!

Saturday the adventure club went to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. This is the last month they are letting teachers in for free, so we had to go. I've been here a few times before and it's pretty nice. It's nothing compared to all the aquariums I've been to on the coast, but it's a good effort for the middle of the desert! I forgot my camera, so no pictures of this one. Maybe Joe will put something on facebook and I'll copy it later...

Saturday night I went to see the Blue Man Group with Donita. She got free tickets and some school district thing she had to go to. It was pretty cool. I'm not really sure how to describe the show - there's a lot of music, comedy and audience participation. It's very different. They even threw in some science!

Now there's just a week and a half more of this school year. I haven't made too many plans for this summer, but I'm sure something will come up.

Adventure #3

A few weeks ago, our little adventure club went on it's next adventure - the Las Vegas Zoo. Despite the small, somewhat getto appearance of the outside, it actually had a lot more than we thought it would. Plus - because it's small and somewhat compact, the animals are really up close! Here's a few pictures of Joe, Donita and I...
