Fifth Grade Field Trip...Sniff



Cade has his last field trip....sniff sniff.....and it was a "big" one! The fifth grade class got to travel to Huntsville to visit the Space and Rocket center. I was scheduled to be a bus riding volunteer but as luck would have it (yes, I consider it lucky when you suddenly no longer have to ride the actual bus with a bunch of fifth graders) the teacher counted incorrectly and there were not enough seats to hold the chaperones. Traveling with some of my friends was a much better option:)




I still enjoyed spending time with Cade and watching him interact with his buds. I'm so thankful that he still wants me there and is not shy to snap a selfie with me in front of his friends:)

 He and his pal Ryan:


The kids had a workshop where they made little parachute men. 

And for memory's sake here is Taylor (in the green). She's the "like" of Cade's entire elementary career. 


After the parachute men were made they got to drop them off of the balcony. I believe there was some learning involved here but I can't remember what it was.

 I'm blessed to have spent Cade's final elementary field trip with him and these two great friends, Ryan and Drew. I hope they stick like glue through middle school too!
