Rhett's first grate field trip

This past Friday I went on a field trip with Rhett to the Phoenix Science Center, and this is how the day went for us.

Here is the class patiently waiting to leave to the bus to drive the hour out to the center.

And here we are on the bus "patiently" waiting for 45 minutes to leave, because the bus behind us had broken flashers, so someone came out to fix them. When they couldn't fix them, they had to send out another bus. It took forever!!!

These are the kids I was in charge of. There was Eric, Alexis, Martha, and Rhett. They are just ecstatic that we are finally there! But starving.

We started out at the dinosaur exhibit. Here is Rhett with his favorite animal. The T-Rex!!!

After looking at some dinosaurs, the kids decided to brush off dinosaur bones for a while.

After lunch and going to the "Forces of Nature" center and the building center, we went to the area where it is all about the human body. This is a huge nose that you throw the foam balls a.k.a. "dust" into the nose until it "sneezes" them back out. The kids loved it!
This is at the end of the field trip with the kids just goofing around on a tree just outside the center.
And just moments from leaving the center the kids lined up and jumped down the big steps together.
And down they go. Just after these pictures were taken, my battery died so I couldn't take any more pictures of the ride home. Needless to say, the ride home was much more quiet than the drive there. One of the girls in my group fell asleep on my lap, and the boy in front of me fell asleep sitting up. But we finally got back to the school and it was all over.
