Enchanted Island Field Trip

The kindergartners had a wonderful time at Enchanted Island in Encanto Park on Thursday, April 7. The consensus was to go on the train ride first thing after getting their hands stamped. They excitedly observed all of the other rides as they went by. Some were trying to decide which ones to go on next. There were a lot of choices: roller coaster, bumper boats, parachutes, merry-go-round, airplanes, and many more. At 11:00 we took a break for lunch, but after about 20 minutes the kids were ready to go back to the rides. They were all very well behaved and everyone had a great time. Even the weather was nice - breezy and partially overcast. We left Enchanted Island around 1:00 and walked to the lagoon to feed the ducks. Those ducks really had a feast with 43 children throwing pieces of bread to them. Even the pigeons got in on it and ate their fill. Only one mishap for the day when one little boy got too close as he threw the bread and fell in the water. He was quickly rescued and other than being wet, was just fine. The students had about 20 minutes to play on the playground, then off to the bus and back to school. Several of the kids fell asleep on the trip back - guess we wore them out with all the fun. Everyone agreed that it was a great day and a couple asked if we could come back tomorrow. Yep, it was a successful field trip! I would like to say a big THANK YOU!! to all of the parents who helped with chaperoning my kids. I could not have done it without your help. You made this fun day possible. You are the best!
