Walking Field Trip

Today I got to volunteer at Anjuli's preschool on their walking field trip! It was a lot of fun, and really special to spend time with Anjuli at school.
We walked first to the Mililani Firestation. The firemen talked about what they did and put on all the gear for us to see.
Anjuli immediately associated a big truck with loud noise, so this was her during the entire presentation. I tried convincing her it wouldn't be loud but she didn't believe me.

Trying on the fireman hat.
When he put on the mask a few kids got al little scared. Their gear weighs around 45 lbs--wow!
They let all the kids climb up the stairs and walk through the truck. That was Anjuli's favorite part :)
Next we walked to Foodland! Grandma Dottie showed us the bakery first, and everyone got a sample of their donut holes and cheese rolls.
Then we went to the back storage area. We saw the place where the big trucks come in and unload the merchandise. While we were there George in Produce cut up a watermelon for us and gave us another snack!
Cooold! Brrr, the freezer room. It made all the kids giddy.
Grandma Dottie kept saying, "So kids, where are you going to tell your mommy and daddy to go shopping?? FOODLAND!"
Next we went to Showers of Blessings, a religious bookstore.
There we got to watch a skit about King Solomon. The kids loved the balloons. They each got to take one home.

Last stop: Jamba Juice! I think I'm pretty accurate in saying this was the favorite place of all :)
Each child got to help make the Jamba. Here's Anjuli putting in 2 scoops of frozen strawberries.
Mmm.... What a fun day we had! And how nice her preschool is in close proximity to all of these places to make for a fun field trip.
