A field trip to the Nursing Home!

Boston's Kindergarten class went on a field trip this morning to a local nursing home, and I got to go along!  They had 3 parents drive a car load of kids, so it was me and 4 boys!  They sang songs for the residents and then gave each one a Happy Thanksgiving picture that they had drawn, along with an apple.  The kids were told to chose a resident to give their gifts too, and then spend some time getting to know their new friend.  It was so cute to see all the little Kindergarten students visiting with the elderly people!  The residents had the biggest smiles!  Boston got to meet two new friends today. There weren't enough students in the class, so one little lady sat alone watching all the kids visit with other residents.  Boston split up his visiting time between the two ladies.  I was so proud.  The ladies just loved him!

The whole class.  The residents were just in awe that the kids could sing Jesus Loves Me in Spanish!

You can tell by the look on her face that it meant so much to her that the kids took the time to come!

Boston & Dorothy

All the kids visiting with their new friends.  

Boston and his friend Bearl.  It was so cute because she thought Boston's name was Austin, so we said 'Austin, bu with a B'.  Then we asked her what her name was. 

She replied 'Pearl, but with a B'.  :)

It was such a fun morning!  I LOVE being involved.  It makes me so appreciative for all the hard work my husband does so that I am able to be a stay-at-home mom.  The flexibility to volunteer for field trips, help in Boston's classroom and the school lunch room wouldn't be possible otherwise.  Also blessed with good friends willing to help out with Brigham so that I am able to get out and do special things with Boston.  So much to be thankful for today, and every day!
