Rain and 60 kids ...

Yesterday, I took my class along with the other two 3rd grade classes to the Tolay Regional Park. They were having a fa;; festival. It was great except for the fact that it was raining. The entire event is outdoors, under canopy tents. They had different stations that the kids could rotate through- carding and spinning wool, planting a seed, painting a pumpkin, and making a candle. Unfortunately we all couldn't fit under these tents. We were troopers, we even went on the hay ride, making raincoats out of plastic garbage bags. The adults were smart, though, we placed the plastic bags under us, so not to get our rear-ends wet. In the end, we decided to call it a day, trudge back through the mud puddles to our bus and head back to school early. We were soaked all the way through by then and were anxious to get back to the classrooms where we could turn the heater to 85 and thaw out and dry off.
