The entire kindergarten at Ky's school has been studying the five senses in science class. I've been hearing her come home talking about observing different things (leaves, her lunch, her clothing) using touch, hearing, sight, smell, and ~ when appropriate ~ taste. This week as a culminating activity on the five senses, it was time for a field trip.
And I got invited by my big girl!
 |
| my three charges for the morning (oh, and by the way, don't judge...the auto focus is jammed on my camera and i was more concerned with keeping up with all three in a very crowded locale than getting a crisp shot!) |
 |
| i *heart* my big girl! |
There were honey sticks and apples galore to taste as well as peppers in every shape and color to see.
 |
| the vendor at this stall was so nice! he explained to the girls why these peppers were called banana peppers and pointed out the many color varieties of bell peppers to them |
We listened to hear all the sounds of the morning and dragged our hands across all kinds of produce to find examples of smooth and bumpy fruits and vegetables.
 |
| two smooth pumpkins, one bumpy |
 |
| these were her declared favorite mums because "they are Hokie colors" of course! |
I fully realize that one day she probably won't want me to come along on school trips. So I'm doing my best to savor these days...

First of all, what a FUN, engaging field trip- love it! And secondly, I'm SO happy you were able to go! Cherish every chance you get is right! :)
Glad you got to go! I love field trips. And no worries......I even got invited on field trips in middle school. So far, we haven't had any in high school, but I'll keep you posted! :) Looks like she is loving school!
Miss you guys! Hope the other kids feel better quickly!

Looks like everyone had a great time! And coming from a teacher's perspective, I always loved having helpful, responsible parents along to help.
What a fun morning. Grandma would love to come up sometime and go on a field trip with you, Kylie.
Um, field trips are a mom's prerogative. Remember, I went on a big field trip to Phoenix with Mindy when she was a sophomore! NO WAY was I missing my kid marching in the Fiesta Bowl. She only went through the "PLEASE don't acknowledge being my parent" phase for about a year. After that, she actually ASKED me to chaperone. :) I only get camera-banned on occasion, now. :)
p.s. Please tell Miss Kylie to STOP IT. She looks way too tall and way too big, and it's been way too long since we've seen you all! Big hugs and kisses for all, please!
How cool! Her first field trip. I am so glad you got to experience it. I'm not used to you talking about school aged kids yet. Love the photo that is close up of Kylie and her pumpkin. She is such a beautiful child.
Love that picture of her holding the pumpkin. <3
Oh, my, what an amazing first school field trip. :0) Of course, she has been on three extra special field trips across the big water, so many special memories with her mommy and family. Big hugs! I so see "E" in "K's" smile in some of these pictures. Counting down until our visit.
I love it when my kids ask me to join them for a field trip! I am so glad you got that precious time with your girl..
Yep I am cherishing my "cool Mommy" days too! Glad you guys had fun! that looked like a cool trip.
