These Are The People In Your Neighborhood...

Does anyone else think it's kind of strange that the elementary schools (at least ours) wait till the last 6 weeks of school to do most of their field trips? Between Kiera and Makenna, they have 5 field trips scheduled in the next month. Crazy but fun I guess. What else are you supposed to do with a bunch of kids with spring fever anyway?

Yesterday I got to go with Kiera on her little "community field trip." We walked to the bus stop, caught the UTA bus (they donated a bunch of passes to the school), went to the Centerville Fire Station and the Centerville Post Office. It was a short trip but interesting. I still am fascinated by how the postal system works so efficiently. I think it's pretty cool. And while I've been to several of the local fire departments, this was the first time I'd been to the Centerville Station, so it was neat to meet some of the people that would help us if our cat runs up a tree - if we had a cat, that is.

Anyway, it was a fun morning and I love being able to spend some one-on-one time with my girls, even if it's with a bunch of other giggling kids!
