Field Trip

This is actually a pic from when we went apple picking as a family over Labor Day.  But Alley's Mom did get to chaperon Alley's class on their first field trip to an apple orchard last week.  Alley was excited to ride the bus for the first time.  She must be a kindergartner, as she was so excited to have me there and wanted to sit by me.  As predicted, it was controlled chaos on the field trip.  I spent most of the lunch trying to get a stubborn goat away from all the kid's food.  One of Alley's classmates told me I was her best friend and held my hand the whole time.  We also went on a hayride, play in a big pile of hay and of course learned how they grow apples.

Alley is really liking Kindergarten - of course she says her favorite part is Kid's Place - the before/ after school program where she gets to do most playing.  She also likes music class, has an art class, library time, and a Spanish class.  She is making new friends and seems to have a crush on another kindergarten boy (in a different class), named Martin.  She actually seems to blush when she sees him - how is that possible, she is only a kindergartner!
