A few weeks ago Ninja had his first field trip of the

school year.

The preschool classes were going to Goss Farms 

for hay rides, corn mazes, animal petting, cow trains and most of all

to get a pumpkin. 

Sounds like fun right?!?

Well, overall it was.

But first we had a little mishap...

Once we were assigned our chaperoned children and got loaded onto

the buses we took off.

While leaving the gate of the base our bus hit

one of the barriers that you are supposed to go around.

In the drivers defense I am sure he didn't mean to run over 

a big metal X of sorts with a bus full of children.

I mean we hit that thing so hard the bus 

almost tipped according to parents on the other bus.

Needless to say we busted our tire and had to all board one bus.

So some 50 preschoolers and the 15 or so chaperones on one bus.

Not so fun!

Here is the busted tire I took a picture of with my phone.

Once we got to the farm we were split into 4 groups.

I was put into the group with our teacher assistant which was nice

because I haven't gotten to know her quite as well as I'd like to.

She is a wonderful woman and is one of the reasons Ninja is 

in that same preschool class again this year.

Here are some of the pictures of the kids while 

exploring the farm.

The next day at school the children were asked to draw their

favorite part of the field trip.

This was Ninja's favorite thing...

"When the bus got a flat tire!"

HA!

Gotta love that kid!
