Fun on The Farm

It was field trip time a couple of weeks ago. I'm hoping next year we will go someplace different. Not that I don't like One Fun Farm, I actually really like it a lot, but we went there for his field trip last year in preschool too. At least this year they got to do a few new things that they missed out on last year.

One of those was jumping on this HUGE trampoline...

(Jayke is the fourth kid from the left...it's hard to tell because all the kindergarteners wear orange shirts when on field trips.)



It was funny to watch all those kids bouncing but then one brave dad joined them along with Mr. Logan, the cadet teacher, and the two kindergarten teachers. The kids all immediately went into attack mode and had the two guys down on the tramp. There were so many kids on top of them you couldn't even see the poor guys. I was shocked no one got hurt. There wasn't any crying at all which amazed me.

Since I passed my criminal background check...snicker...I was permitted to supervise Jaykeb and his friend Ben while on the farm. I think in the future I may request to NOT be in charge of my own kid. They all have told me how well behaved he is but as soon as I show up he looses his mind! I was about to ask that the teacher have him pull a behavior card. Ben, on the other hand, was extremely well behaved. I'm sure if his mother had been there it would have been a different story for him too. Mothers seem to bring out the worst in their kids.



I tried to get a picture of the whole class but trying to get all those kids to hold still is difficult. Not to mention that I got out there and discovered that my battery on my Nikon was dead. I had to rely on the cell phone camera again. Jayke is sitting up on the straw bales next to Mr. Logan, their cadet teacher from Delta High School.




We got to eat lunch there and before leaving all the kids got to go into the pumpkin patch and select a pumpkin to bring home. Jayke brought his straight home and colored it black. We had perfect weather for our trip and I think aside from Jayke's grouchiness at times, we all had a good time.

This week is Red Ribbon Week. They are wearing bracelets everyday, Wednesday is Red day, Thursday is Jersey day, and Friday is crazy tie day. Oma made Jayke a lovely little tie to wear. They also have a skating party Thursday and fall party on Friday. I hope I can keep track of all this!
