Owen’s Field Trip

On my actual Birthday, November 14th, I was able to chaperone Owen’s 3rd Field Trip. Thank you to my wonderful friend Stephanie (Autumn’s BFFs Mom) who took Autumn home with her to play after pre-school. We went to the Nature & Science Museum. This was the first bus field trip I have gone on with 40+ Kindergarteners and it was honestly delightful. Loud, but delightful. Somehow Owen’s group that I was in charge of consisted of 3 girls and 1 boy. Owen was able to chose 1 person and the rest were randomly assigned and of course he chose a girl. Melia, the love of his life. Joking mainly, but these two definitely have a little Kindergarten sized crush on each other. It was 4.5 hours all together including the bus ride to and from so things went very fast pace and perfect for their little attention spans. I am so blessed to be able to stay home with my babies and go on these fun little trips with them and their classes. Perfect way to spend my Bday.

The bus ride. Owen sat with his friend Savyna on the way to the Museum. She’s pretty cute, but man is this girl rambunctious!

 

Savyna, Melia, Gwen, & Owen. This was my group for the day. Melia & Gwen are pretty tall for Kindergarteners, but they are both 6 so I guess that’s why.

Going over the rules & regulations.

Discovering. This was my first time at the Denver Nature & Science Museum and it is fabulous! I can’t wait to go back and explore when we have more time to spend there and less kids to be responsible for.

Lunch time :)

We even found a little New Mexican Gem. Owen was so excited and told everyone in his class that is where he was born.

The last half hour of the trip, we had to meet in the Museum Education room for a class. They had been learning all month about Bears & Hibernating, so that is what the class was on. They even got to dress like bears and do some hibernating of their own.

They had to collect food to store up,

They slept for a really long time in their caves,

And then they had babies :)

It’s pretty blurry, but here is Owen and his ‘friend’ Melia. He is goo goo over this pretty little girl.

 

And after the field trip, the kids insisted that we bake a cake since it was my Birthday. They have no clue how to celebrate a Birthday without a Cake. Honestly, it’s all they know. Birthday always equal cake. End of story. So to appease them, We baked.

 

And tasted,

And sprinkled,

Added candles,

we sang,

And FINALLY we ate :)
