Field Trip & David in a Box

Jared went on a field trip to a local news station to learn about the weather, he had lots of fun asking questions about the gadgets all around him. He now thinks the weather guy controls the weather. At one point, the kids got to choose what the weather was going to be like in the region. All I can say is, it's a good thing they can't control the weather because they chose a tornado, snow storm and hurricane. Here's a screen shot of what they did:

Here's the class with the weather guy:

They also got to do a little video which was fun for them. It didn't go on the air, but was found on the news website. If you can't tell which one is Jared, he's the one with the red bandaid who can't stand still.

And last, but not least.... David loves to play in boxes. Eventually, he cut a door and window into this one and cried when I had to throw his "house" away - it was in pretty bad shape after a week of hard playing.

No worries, we'll build a new house if everything works out with the one in Tacoma.

You had me laughin'! That weather that the kids chose looks pretty freaky! Must be a boy thing! Nolan is obsessed with tornados- if he got to chose the weather- he would pick tornados- just to see one up close!
What is it with kids and boxes?!?!

That's great that the kids got to go see the weather guy at the news channel. That age group can be difficult to keep interested. Kudos to that weatherman for giving those kids some good exposure to basic weather information. Weatherfolk rule! :)
