First School Bus Ride! The Springs Preserve!

So Riley got to take his very first ride on a school bus a couple weeks ago when his class went to the Springs Preserve on a field trip. Rick and I came with him as chaperones. I love that Rick likes being invoived in the kids' educational experiences. He's such a cool dad. ;)
I love how tiny kindergarteners are on the bus! Their little heads barely peeked over the seats! Riley of course sat with his best bud Garrett and they played "I Spy the Letter" to make the ride more interesting. Not that riding in a giant yellow torpedo with no seatbelts wasn't already interesting enough! HAHA!
The day was gorgeous and the kids were extremely well behaved, considering there were like a MILLION other schools there at the same time.
At one point the kids broke off into groups of 4 and had to learn about different animals that are native to our area. Our group chose BATS and here they are sharing what they learned...
Afterward there was a little free time so we went outside. There was this jumping activity wherethe kids could see how their jumps compared to other desert animals. Rick can jump as far as a fox, in case anyone was wondering. LOL
All the kids thought it was sooo cool that Rick jumped. Everyone was trying to beat him. Goodtimes :)
