Bonanzaville Fieldtrip

One disadvantage to volunteering on a regular basis in your kids class is that in a bind- they think they can count on you! You just might find yourself on a fieldtrip or two that you never even signed up for. LOL. Mrs. Spanier had told me (not asked- mind you) that I was coming to the bread-making day. Not a problem- I made it work. I did my duty, right? You'd think I did. But then Liberty came home Friday and informed me that I was a chaperon for the all day fieldtrip to Bonanzaville today. I already was assigned a group and had a packet to study! Lucky me! ;) It worked out fine though. I found a babysitter and had a fabulous time!
We paired up with one of Liberty's best friends and her Mom's group for the tour. My group was a lot of fun. It consisted of 2 good-hearted boys and Liberty's little Ethnic-diversity posse. LOL. Such cute girls! They always flock to Liberty when I am there. Seba's family is from India, Gianella is from the Dominican Rebublic, Aluel is from Africa and Kaitlin is from the US. So fun! I was so glad I got to spend one last day with them before the end of the year. It was chilly and a chance of showers but we walked the mile or so from the school. We tried to not get blown away. Quite appropriate, I thought since we were going to study Pioneers. ;)

This was my 1st time at Bonanzaville. We saw and learned lots of cool things. Some of the kids favorites were the Air Museum, the naked manikins (in the Iron lung and the Barber shop--totally funny), the free candy, ringing the LOUD train bell a million times and running as fast as they could between buildings. What a fun day!
