Field Trips!
Airport trip!
L~R: Mason, Brieanna, Ray, & Jack
My friend Jenny, let the kids come out to the airport and see the airplanes and the big jets.
We learned that airplanes have 3 wheels(# of the week), and airplanes need fuel, & wind to fly.
Our little pilots holding on to the prop~Ray, Jack, Brieanna, and Mason
Pilots like to get their picture by the planes prop. Always before you start the planes engine, you shout"Clear Prop" so that nobody gets hurt.

School Bus trip!
Jack & Ray in the bus car seats.
If you are under 5, you have to sit in a car seat on the bus.
Mason, Sophia, Miss Annelisa, and Jack learn about bus safety.

Grma Susy, and the boys inside the bus.
Watching the bus lights and learning what they mean.
The boys are as tall as the bus wheels!
Buses have 6 wheels, and 24 side windows, and 2 really cool horns.

Thank-you Ray's, Grma Susy for a fun trip to the Bus Garage.
