Field Trip to the Planetarium Take Two

 Tommy's school took a field trip to the planetarium.  With as much as he loves space, I couldn't possible miss this trip with him!

Before the planetarium, we visited the park.

 We ate our lunch there too.  Thanks for the fab dab in the background, Mason!

 Swinging!

 Hanging out with some preschool ladies in the playhouse!

After the park, we went to Jeff High School to see the planetarium. It was much better this year.  We got to see videos of rockets launching on the dome which was AWESOME.  My favorite part.  We also talked about the constellations and planets too.  We had a super fun time on the field trip.  I drove separately, thank the good Lord, so when we were done with the planetarium, we took off so we could get ready for vacation.  More posts to come soon!

Tommy's Field Trip

 Tommy has had a few field trips so far this year but on this field trip, Mama got to go!! Yay!

I showed up for lunch time and was put to work.  Tommy was hanging over the back of his seat waiting for me to sit and eat with him but one of the preschool teachers called in sick that day so I was needed to help open fruit cups, stick straws in juice boxes, open lunchables, pass out milk, etc.  Three kids forgot their lunches, half the chaperones were late, and one kid was LOSING HIS MIND because he kept saying his mom was supposed to be there with his lunch.  Poor kid.  She showed up but just an hour late.  Just an average day for a teacher, I'm sure.  Ugh, did Paul Harvey ever do a "So God Made a Teacher?"

 Anyhoo, after lunch we jumped on the rickety old school bus and headed out.  Bus Selfie! That's Tommy's friend Jayden.  Tommy tells us all the time how his name is spelled, J-A-Y, D-E-N.  I don't know why.

 So where did we go on our field trip??? We went to the Planetarium!  Jeff High School has a planetarium so we visited and learned about the planets and the stars.  Big high schools amaze me!

The teacher gave us a rundown on planets and then started talking about a lot of constellations.  Each constellation, like Cassiopeia for example, had a picture that he would put on the dome to represent the constellation.  For Cassiopeia, he put a picture of a queen that looked like the queen of hearts but for some reason it was sideways.  Well to 5 and 6 year olds, this started a giggle fest.  Those giggles were even cracking me up.  But with each picture, the giggles just got worse.  The teacher ended up getting REALLY mad and yelling at the kids and singling out a couple, including Tommy's buddy.  Yikes.  It even made me sink down in my chair like a child.  Awkward!
But the rest of the field trip went off without a hitch.  It was so fun to be able to join Tommy on his turf.  I hope to be able to do it again soon.  What a great day.
