First Field Trip!

Today (and I do mean that, it happened today) was Georgia's very first field trip ever! After finishing up the "family" unit at school, Miss Jones has been teaching them all about the grocery store. Here is the in-classroom grocery store, complete with a very popular cashier spot.
So after a few weeks of talking produce (seriously) and bakery items, the class was ready to take the city bus (oh yeah, citified) to the big grocery store we've tried desperately to keep Georgia out of every time we have to shop there...

 Daddy was a chaperone. And photographer.

Just for your information, below and to Georgia's right is Von, the boy Georgia has told me is her "prince." His mom was there, too, which makes her a queen, but G did not make that connection.

Outside the store.

First stop, Miss Pearl and the deli counter.

G told us at dinner that if she had to pick a job at the grocery, she wanted to be the fish seller.

 The checkout line was too long for them to wait, so they took the self-service route.

 She got to put her money in herself.

Group shot...so cute!

G and Chloe - according to Daddy, these two were the only two to have a "physical confrontation" inside the store. They seem to be key characters in each other's school stories, frequently including some serious fall from some piece of playground equipment. Georgia made a special card for Chloe last night before bed. It had to have "a princess, a queen, a table and a jewelry box."

 Georgia and Maddie enjoyed their fruit snacks on the bus back to school.
