Maddie Field Trip

Maddie's class took a walking field trip to the Farmer's Market last Wednesday.  It seemed to be a nice day at first, but then the skies decided to open.  It starts down pouring.  By this time we had already been there for about 45 minutes and the kids had played outside all of that time.  We then headed under the rood and the kids ate their snacks, had cider, and played in the corn bins and pedal tractors.  We then looked up the radar and realized the rain wasn't going to stop anytime soon.

A couple moms walked back to school to get their cars and they were going to come back and start loading up kids to drive back.  While they were gone, the rain kind of stopped and it was just a light sprinkle.  Two moms and I decided we'd head back quick while there was a little let up.....so the two other moms, myself, and 4 kids started walking back.  We only got about a 3rd of the way back and it started POURING, and I mean POURING!!!  John Jackson reality saw us and invited us in to his business.  Super nice man, that has 7 kids of his own, so he didn't mind our chaos.  We hung out in there about 20 minutes and the rain was still coming strong, so he let us pile the kids in his jeep and drive them back to school.  So nice!!!  It was actually pretty funny......so we piled 3 adults and 4 kids into the jeep and headed back to school.

Once back at school they kids got to "pick" their pumpkin from the school floor instead of the Farmer's Market.  Once it started pouring, a dad that was on the trip just grabbed a bunch of pumpkins and then let the kids pick theirs out once they were back at school.

It was a very eventful field trip and very fun too!!
