Last week was Spring Break for Seattle Public Schools, and that meant a couple of days of rest for me, and then two full-day field trips with my 4th and 5th grade troops. The 5th graders voted to go rock climbing with the money they earned during cookie sales. We rode the city bus to the indoor rock climbing gym, enjoyed a sandwich lunch (also their choice - as long as I brought hot Cheetos - they are obsessed!!), climbed for a couple hours, and then rode the bus back to the school. Everything about the day was great - except the freezing rain....ahhhh!!! The next day I woke up to see snow falling (are you kidding me with this???) as I prepared to take the 4th graders to the Space Needle. None of the 4th graders had ever been to the top of the Space Needle, so it was quite a thrill for them. We enjoyed a picnic lunch at the top (complete with more hot Cheetos!!) and the girls did a scavenger hunt finding out facts about Seattle. The next stop was the Seattle Center, which was turned into a giant bounce house. The girls had a blast.

Our spectacular (ha) view from the top. It was so foggy and cloudy that day that we couldn't see beyond the city limits. Big bummer!! (See the Pepsi sign? Below it and to the left there's a brown building - that's the Girl Scout office!!)
