Oh, and I'd like to do a HUGE shout out and thank you to Knollwood Dental Care for their generous donation of youth toothbrushes and toothpaste for the children I will meet in Africa!  I will hand these out to the children in the schools and villages we will pass through.  I also was able to purchase school supplies from the generous donation by our school's KC Club!

Bubble gum sparkle Kid's Crest with Cavity Protection--
it will make up for the candy I will share with them.

Harvey is helping pack some more.  They said to bring "comfort food" for the trip and the seven days on the mountain.  I couldn't decide what to bring, so I got a bit of everything!   Mind you, I will be sharing with the kids over in Tanzania--I heard M&Ms are their favorite, so I got a larger bag. (Hmmm... I'm pretty sure those are a favorite of my classroom kids too!)  Can you spot Harvey the Hyena in this pile?  If you had to pack your favorite "junk foods" what would you pack?  (LOL, sorry friends, butter popcorn takes up too much room to take over and I don't have access to a microwave!  Aaron, I knew your answer right away!) :)

Jolly ranchers, gum, licorice, granola bars... yum!

It's a Zoo in here!

I can't believe the first week of summer has gone!  All the animals have been paired with a student and Harvey the Hyena has traveled with me to training in Ann Arbor and back.  I also just found out we'll have a short stay in Washington D.C. waiting for a flight to Africa--so we will have a night to explore.  I've never been to Washington D.C. (I know, right--should be illegal for a teacher to have never visited our nation's capital!) and the monuments will be open in the evening to visit.  I am very excited to get some good pictures and share them with you all.  Don't be shy with your cameras--let's see some summer fun!

See you online soon!

All the animals with their "handlers".

That's more like it... it's a zoo in here! LOL.

Harvey the Hyena is helping me pack for Africa.  Let's see... OFF! for the rainforest GIANT mosquitoes that may try to carry me away, rain gear for the days we'll be outside on Safari and the weather has other plans, sunscreen, a winter jacket for the -10 F degree nights camping and hiking up on Kilimanjaro.  Sounds like a great vacation--Harvey Hyena is ready to roll!  (I think I need a few more items before I can go!)
