Field Trip

It's the end of the school year and time is moving at warp speed. There was the Carnival on the 1st, both Josh and Carley have field trips, there will be a band concert, award ceremony. Only four weeks of school left and then it will be (hopefully) lots of rest and relaxation over the summer.

Carley had her first field trip with the kindergartners this week and it was her first time ever riding on a school bus. In fact, it was the first time I've ridden on a school bus since I played sports when I was 16. The seats seem a lot smaller than I remember.


There were so many parents that I only had two kids in my group. Carley and her classmate, Lindsy.

We went to the zoo. There isn't much attention span in the five-year-old world so it was really moving quickly from one animal to another.


The chimpanzees held their attentions for a quite a while though. The chimps were pretty active and trying to get snacks out of boxes. The kids were intrigued by the chimpanzee butts too.


Carley is in the middle of the crowd.


The small toys were actually the biggest hit. The whole class lined up to climb on this.


At the end of the zoo tour the whole class got together for a group picture with their teacher, Mrs. Steiger, and student teacher, Mrs. Woodbeck.


After leaving the zoo, we had brown-bag lunch in the park before getting on the bus to head back to the school.

What a fun day.
