Trey's First Field Trip!

Today was Trey's first field trip and of course I offered my chaperone expertise, ha! We went to the Fire Station in Geislingen, Germany. Taking field trips here are totally different. Back in the states you would just take a school bus to and from, no big deal. Here we walk to the bus station wait for the next bus, take the bus to the nearest train station, walk to the train station, wait for the train, then walk the rest of the way to our destination. Same thing on the way back. They're all about public transportation here. Boy, were these kids worn out by the end of our little excursion. Trey had a good time although he is scared of the firetrucks. He doesn't like the ladder lifts that are part of the fire truck because last year Jeff and Bryan went up in the lift and Trey was afraid they were never coming back. So he is scarred for life, ha!

Here are the kids having lunch inside the fire station

They let the kids sit on the fire truck, but Trey was not interested at all.

they were taking over the fire truck :)
