firehouse field trip

addie's class had a walking field trip to the volunteer firehouse and i got to go with them. :)

addie is in the middle in a jean jacket with her hand raised.

we went with 2 other k classes and they gave them a presentation. it's pretty amazing that all of the firefighters here are volunteers. these guys don't get nearly enough credit, in my opinion!

fireman chris got into all his gear and gave all the kids high fives to show that firemen aren't scary.

then we took a tour. addie was very inquisitive and quietly took it all in.

it was so fun to see her with all her friends too. :) the boy in the red sweater and khaki shorts was her "boyfriend" until mama explained to her that we don't have boyfriends and that she'd have to "break-up" with him. silly girl.

it was a very informative field trip, i think everyone had a good time.

addie is very into fire alarms and drills, fire, earthquake, tornado, she talks about them all the time and asks tons of questions. she's very safety conscious.

love this face!

miss huber's k class 2013-2014.

then addie got silly and started taking mug shots. 

turn to the side...

now turn around...

and to the other side...

she is so silly. after all our touring and pictures we walked back to school, and back to class she goes. it was fun. :)

as soon as her field trip ended i rushed to wally to buy some canning jars and then to alecia's to do my first actually canning! we made many many batches of yummy applesauce.

apples for days.

we cut them into 4's, threw them onto the stove, put them through her cool applesauce maker that takes the peel and seeds out, poured the applesauce into our jars, and back onto the stove to seal the jars.

it was awesome and the applesauce is so yummy! christian lived off of it after he had his wisdom teeth removed. we've already gone through 4 jars. good thing i've got 20 left!

 

i am so grateful for good friends that take time to teach and share their talents. :)
