firestation fieldtrip

I still cannot believe that this is jackson's last year at OPS!!! it seems like yesterday i was dropping him off for his very first day in the toddlers class. IN the 4's class, the kids get to experience things similar to what elementary school does. drum roll.......jackson's first Field Trip!!! to the main fire station downtown. I must say that even i was a bit excited for it too..The three classes rode the bus there and back with a caravan of parents following behind. The morning was great...we toured the entire station, met the station's pet dog, rode the pole, and saw the big ladder truck in full extension. we followed the tour up with a lunch date at the park.
