mr. al the alligator

he is em's class pet. each weekend, mr. al gets to go home with one of his beta friends. the betas are to include him in everything they do, and they take pictures and report on everything in a journal. this weekend, em got to bring mr. al home and she was so excited. here are a few things they did together this weekend:

heading home for the weekend

 

riding the "excalator"

 

sharing em's bubble tea at lunch

no trip to the mall is complete without a ride on the "chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga, choo-choo!"

 

dinner at em's favorite mexican restaurant- el real

at the movies- the secret world of arriety

on sunday em and mr. al went on a safari for her cousin emma's 10th birthday.  (that's shay, her other cousin, in the picture).

they got to ride a pony

and take a picture with another mr. al the alligator!  em was very worried about her class pet and held on tight to him so none of the animals would eat him :)
