Caitlin's 1st Kinder field trip....KINDA

Well today Caitlin and her class...along with the the other am/pm kindergartens were suppose to go on a field trip to Green Meadows Farm/petting zoo. Well they went...KINDA! hahaha

Getting excited!!


The bus pulled out of the school at 9am and off they went. 2 of my friends loaded up with me and we headed out. BUT not before stopping at one house for a change of shoes and another for a forgotten camera and then a stop for soft drinks for the trip. So we are off!!
I figured we would catch and pass the bus, but never did. It was a good 25-30 mile drive...so I was surprised. We get there and there are NO buses yet. OK so we go and stand with the other parents and one of the other mom's say.."one of the buses broke down." GREAT!!! And yes...it was the one with Caitlin on it. But they also took an odd way of getting there...so no one passed them on the way. The bus pulled off the highway and waited for another one to come. They switched the kids and were on their way. Right before they got there..it started sprinkling and that sprinkle increased until the skies just let loose and it was down pouring. Did I mention we were going to a farm aka outside!!

So the buses finally arrive and they decide to have us all huddle on the bus and eat lunch with the kids. So we ate lunch and watched the rain come down. After an hour, it was time to call the field trip a failure!! KINDA!! The kids did get to ride a school bus on a really long trip. :-)

Do you see the rain coming down :-)

Before leaving, they pulled the bus over to the bathroom and let the kids go potty and then loaded them back on the bus. So they took a field trip to a 2 stall bathroom in Grand Prairie, TX on Joe Pool Lake. HAHA!
The rain did not let up until we got back to the school..where it barely rained! Of course, the teacher told us that she was there until 3pm..so we could leave our kids at school and they would do fun stuff in class..if we had errands to do or something else. I took this opportunity to FINALLY finish my book I have been slowly working on over the past month.
They are hoping to reschedule the trip, but not sure if that will happen. Since the school buses will have to be paid for again. But we will do another fun field trip later. So hopefully it turns out better then this one....even though it wasn't sooo bad...they got to ride a bus!!! :-)
