Can you imagine what it was like to go to The Post office with a bunch of 4-5 year olds? Imagine seeing it for the first time through a kids eyes! Everything was bigger than life and the most exciting part of the tour was watching the mail drop through the slot on the inside of the office! Every time I go on a field trip I feel like a kid again.. I guess that is one of the perks of my job..I can see the world again as if I was 5 and even though we go every year to the same places, with each new group of children it makes it new again!
After the post office we headed to McDonald's where we toured the facility and watched how they made hamburgers, fries, ice cream, and we even got to go inside the freezer! Brrr.. But the most impressive part of the tour, for me, was the washing machine that had an automatic detergent dispenser that was attached to the top of the machine by a hose! I want one of those for my house! By the end of the trip, the kids were so tired from playing in the play land that the ride back to the school was quiet and reflective (some of the children even fell asleep!)
