Elyse and I were lucky enough to come along with Matthew's exceptionally brave first grade teacher and her twenty-six students on a field trip to the Space Needle. After having a near accident with the metro bus on the morning trip, his teacher was feeling a bit anxious about taking her second group of 1st graders downtown on the bus. Thankfully there were ample parent volunteers, which made the bus ride a little less crazy. Although what I really should have gotten a picture of was the looks of distress on the other bus riders' faces as an entire classroom of 1st graders piled on.
The morning's weather had been a little iffy, but by the time we made it to the Needle, the sun was shining. Matthew and his classmates were able to spot everything on their lists besides Mt. Baker and Mt. Rainer from the observation deck. Such a fun way to spend an afternoon, to talk about directions, and to read a real "map!"
