2nd grade field trip to the MN Zoo

I'm glad it was nice out for this field trip......considering on Jake's we were wearing coats and hats all day!!! Jenni came too, about time!!!
Emily and Abbie
I don't know what she is doing here..........

Prairie Dogs



They all had blue shirts on.......I had pink :-/
At the farm they took these horses across the path into a fenced in area.
This bull weighs over 3,000 pounds. Eek.

Lunch time!
haha Jenni is eating
Raisins!!!!
This was after the girls got lost....and then found. We were checking out the coral reef from above, in the Tropics Trail. We looked ahead of us and didn't see them, so we went in. It's dark and it slopes downward, so once we got down there and didn't see them, I sent Jenni back to check again and I went out ahead. Turns out for whatever reason, they gone back beyond the coral reef to find us. ?? We were standing right there the whole time!! Anyway, they were both bwaling by the time Jenni found them, and pretty much didn't leave our sides for the next half hour.Walking through the bamboo

In the Minnesota Trail
Look for the healthy options............in our CANDY machine. ugh. "Eat healthy, our country is obese but here, snack away!!!" whatev. lol

4th grade field trip to the Capitol and History Museum

Last field trip of the year. It was kind of sad, I have really gotten to know the 4th graders this year, what with going on 8 field trips, going skating for Valentine's Day and helping with class parties. I picked up the kids on the last day of school and a couple of the girls were yelling bye to me on the bus on their way out. One of them will be going to VBS at Oxboro this summer so I'm excited to see her :o) Anyway, this is my cuteness that day. My friend Crystal outfitted me and I must say, I was looking awesome LOL
These nasty caterpillars were all over the ground.
They came from this tree, it was so disgusting!
We did a little inventing class. In my opinion I thought the teacher had cooked up a few 'inventions' of her own.....she was kinda crazy.
In the museum
Lunchtime! Me and Jenni
My anti social son.
clowning around

Dale and Danielle Anderson. They go to our church.
Nick took this. I'm not sure what building it is. I'm sure I should know.




Nick and Blake. They are buddies.





That big long beige building is the Xcel.

The Capitol made out of Legos
