And if you're lucky, one of the kids in your class has a dad who flies airplanes which automatically means a field trip to the local airport! :)
A couple of weeks ago, on a really wet, really cold morning, D's first grade class took a tour of the airport with Jason leading the charge.

I'm not sure who was more excited: the class or D because his dad was the star that day or Jason who just loves talking to anyone about airplanes! It might be a three way tie!
So here they are in the terminal discussing, time, weather and where the vending machines are located. D made sure to point this out and even brought change to demonstrate their functionality. He was shot down in this attempt although argued a strong case.
Out in the hangar...who's kid is in shorts and a t-shirt in 50 degree, rainy weather?! Oh wait...
"Why do I have to do this?! You already have a million pictures of me in the airplane!" Because it's FIELD TRIP day--just smile! Alright, an add an eye roll for good measure...
And no field trip is complete without a snack. I think I kind of over did it this time with the fondant salmon colored (supposed to be orange!) airplanes, but they were cute and I hope tasted even better!
Did the kids learn anything that day?? I'm not sure what they learned about airplanes but I can guarantee you they learned you should wear a jacket when their mom says so and bring change just in case there's a snack machine around the corner.
There are life lessons everywhere.
