Visiting the Post Office

We had our first outing of the year today--our annual walk to the post office!  Nancy gave us a tour and showed some of the interesting stamps we can buy, then the kids got to go on the back dock and look at a mail truck.  At the end we bought stamps and the kids mailed postcards to themselves that they had colored.  Well....not my class.  I forgot the postcards!  So I told my kids we'd mail them when we walked to the bank.

Cache has been having leg problems and came to school today with a splint on his leg.  A wheelchair was rounded up at school so he got to ride to the post office.  Some of the kids probably thought he was pretty lucky, but I'm not so sure.  I never realized how many cracks and bumps were in the sidewalks!  All I can say is, thank goodness he had a seat belt!!  Sorry, Cache!

We had a fun time, the kids were very well behaved and they are looking forward to our next outing.
