Field Trip

On Nov. 3rd, Emily's 3rd grade class went to the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. I drove some of the children. They had a great time. The first thing that the kids did was to go inot the classroom and learn about Simple Machines, this is what they were studying in Science. Then they went to watch a movie about people that were in the Hall of Fame, then, upstairs to the basketball gym, then onto the pitching/soccer/football area, then to the racecar area, and lastly to the workout area. It was a good day.

Love this shot! She didn't make it, but she got
close, esp. considering her height!

Pitching the baseball.

Kicking the soccer ball.

Just not quite big enough to move it :o)

Trying to throw the ball into the whole.

Working out on the elliptical, I had to help her!

On the bike, her friends were helping her pedal,
she wasn't big enough to get both feet on both
pedals.
