We Finally Made It

WOW! The first day of this amazing trip was filled with many fun things. Once we got off the airplane in LAX we had to run from one side of the airport to the other to make our flight. We made it with just minutes to spare. The flight to Aussi was long and boring. Sitting there for 14 hours isn’t exactly what I would call fun. As we arrived into Australia so many things were going through my mind. We were actually in Australia, it was crazy. When we got off the airport and went to luggage unfortunately our luggage hadn’t made it through. But that wasn’t going to ruin our first day. We left the airport and we went straight to Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation.

The first thing we did was have some lunch. Then a worker brought out a live snake. We each got to hold the snake if we would like to. Then we made a habitat for a wombat. We made it out of branches and more dirt. While everyone was digging up dirt, I got to feed a wallaby. It was so adorable. Next we had some lunch. Then it was off to pull weeds but, it was raining so much instead we learned about the food that they feed the animals. The worker took out worms that they feed some of the animals. I was so grossed out that I didn’t even want to touch them. But I actually up eating two worms!!! YUMMM! It didn’t really taste like much. After that we learned about frogs and the different things that are running them into extinction. Frogs eat cockroaches and well so do I now. I was the only one that ate a cockroach. DOUBLE YUMM!! It was very gross but it didn’t taste like anything either. I think I am done eating bugs. At the end of the day we finished with some delicious dinner and a night hike learning about nocturnal animals. The first day was amazing, I learned so much and I got to try some once and a life time things. The day started off a great trip. C ya.
