Nothing like a fieldtrip to keep you on your toes!

Cass, Alissa and I, and every other first grader at her school, went to the zoo today. They had the whole day planned with fun activities. First the zoo, then eating lunch at the gardens and playing on the playground. These activities were suspose to fill most of their school day. Instead, at about 11am a slight panic started working it's way through the teachers. There was a bomb threat at the airport not to far from the zoo. Because of this the school district decided to air on the side of caution and get the students back to school. I didn't mention that our school was not the only one's who were at the zoo at this time. It's a very crazy thing to round up 6 classes of first graders, 3 buses and a couple dozen parents and get them out of the zoo as quickly and calmly as possible. I must hand it to the kids though, they all did an awesome job even though they had no idea why their fun filled day was being cut 2.5 hours short.

They have concluded that the threat was a hoax. A very expensive hoax. The good thing, for the kids anyway, is that they have rescheduled their filedtrip for May 7th. Dylan's class will be going to the zoo on May 15th. Of course, I will once again be accompanying my kiddo's. Alissa will love it. Me, I'm not so sure. I think this last month of school is gonna make me a very worn out Momma!
