Preschool Fieldtrips

Abby has had three fieldtrips in the last couple of months. First was a little trip to our local grocery store. The store manager was amazing with the kids and kept them well entertained while he showed them around. He had all kinds of interesting facts to share. My favorite part was seeing the chainmail glove that the meat department guys wear so they don’t cut themselves. Who knew?



Next on the schedule was a trip to the fire station. Abby was totally engrossed with everything that the firemen taught her and was excited to tell me all about it again on the way home. She even gave a fire safety lesson the next time she was in charge of Family Home Evening. Her favorite part of the trip was that she got to keep the cool plastic firefighter hat they gave her.


The last fieldtrip of the year was to go to Kangaroo Zoo, a new bounce house place in town. Our other kids had won free passes for participating in Reflections, so we took the whole family a couple of weeks earlier. I tried to persuade Abby that since she had already gone with her brother and sisters that she didn’t really need to go with her preschool class. She wasn’t convinced. I wasn’t as enthusiastic about a second trip, so I opted to stay home and sent Abby with a friend. She had a fabulous time playing with her preschool buddies for a couple of hours. Since I wasn’t there I didn’t get any pictures, but here is one that we took a couple of weeks before. (Claudy, Korbin, and Maddie joined us when we took the kids making it loads more fun for everyone.)
