I had the great pleasure of going on a field trip with Josh, just a week or so before school ended. They have a great little place here called Safety Town. It is a mini town where the kids go to learn about things like fire saftey, road saftey and things like that. For Josh's class trip, they first learned all about how to call 911 and even went through some 'practice' calls. They learned that it is important to know your address and phone number. Josh loved it and I thought it was great.
After learning all about 911, the kids got to go outside to the mini town and load up into the little Jeeps they have. The tore around the town, following the stop signs and lights and driving on the right side of the road. It was hilarious to watch as some of the kids just could not get the hang of steering those little cars - heaven help us in 10 years!
The buildings in this 'mini' town were perfectly adorable and I wanted them in my own backyard!
Me and my cutie - boy do I love this boy!
Brooklynn worked really hard this year to make the Varsity Jump Rope Team for next year - The Rockin Ropers! She will have the opportunity to travel around the area and perform at half time shows for many of the College Basketball games in the area. They also perform at other schools in the area. From the get go she was determined to make it and after many hours of practice it happened. I had the opportunity to see the team perform a number of times, so I knew what she was getting into, but I don't think Steve really understood what it was until we got to go to her first performance. They had a Family Night at the Middle School and the JV Jumpers (that was Brookie) got to perform with the Alumni Jumpers (those who are now in middle school). It was so fun to see her go and we were so proud of her - she is really good!
The cutest thing was after the performance Brookie told me that one of the girls on the Varsity Team had told her that she gets butterflies, but that with the first click of the ropes they go away. She then looked at me and said, "She was right mom, that is exactly what happened!"
