Caleb's 1st Field Trip

Last Friday (a week ago) we took Caleb on his first field trip to Space Center Houston! The school I teach at (and he attends) does a few field trips each year on Fridays when we don't have school. Parents bring their own children so teachers aren't in charge, but we all get to have some fun together. After an hour of playing, Jonathan was even able to come join us for some fun. 

It was fun to be on the parent side of a field trip instead of the teacher side. I watched Caleb explore new things and see his little friends. There was a really neat Lego castle exhibit that we spent most of our time at. They even had huge Legos that Caleb could play with! 

I'm so glad that the fact that I am teaching is allowing Caleb to have so many new school experiences. He has already learned so much and started doing so many new things now that he's in school two days a week. 

Anyways, here are some pictures from the day, looking forward to the next field trip experience whenever that may be!

On the Safer (Jonathan says that's what it's called - it's really an astronaut jet pack)

Playing a simulator game, you can't tell but Caleb is in Jonathan's lap

We had a great time at Space Center Houston. Believe it or not it was my first time to ever visit there even though I grew up such a short distance away! I love that Caleb is now getting to the age to enjoy new experiences like that!
