When I woke up the day of the trip I was so excited! I knew the day was going to be excellent. "I can't wait to get to school", I thought. ( That is the first and only time I am ever even going to think or say that.) When the bell rang to go to your first period class I got so excited! After that my teacher talked to us about the trip and how to behave on it. Then we went downstairs to get on to the buses. Finally after that we were on are way! It took awhile but we finally arrived. As I stepped off the Bus I almost froze! It was so cold. When Sarah, her dad, and I went to go looking at some animals they weren't out because it was so cold. After it got a little warmer we started to see some more animals. (I never knew how big the Bronx Zoo is!)

We saw so many animals. My favorite animal was a certain kind of monkey, called a pigmy marmoset. It was the smallest, most adorable and precious thing ever. There was also a little mouse that had huge feet and it hopped around like a kangaroo. I also saw Kodak and Polar bears. You could see the polar bears much better I mean that they were closer and easier to see. They were so gigantic. (I would hate to get into a fight with them!) After that we saw two animals that are very rare, the first ones were the snow leopards which were sleeping. The other was a red faced panda. They are extremely rare.

As we left the park the joy that had once come to me in the beginning of the trip was starting to fade away. The ride home was not too good , because it was a really long way home and it was so boring we had to watch and good burger and I already saw that so it wasn't to interesting. We were even late because we hit traffic. Then I realized it. We were back at school. As I gathered all my things I thought about the great day that I had on my first 4th grade field trip. As I descended the steps of the couch bus I was very depressed that the day was over. I hope to go back someday. I also hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing about it and being there to see everything that I saw.
