This past week Chase finally got to go on his first field trip! Being in 3rd grade, it has been a long wait. On Friday the 3rd grade classes went to Reno to the Fleischmann Planetarium. I got to be one of the lucky Mom's to accompany them. There is not much to see as far as exhibits go there, but they let them walk through the exhibit hall ( tiny room). It was a bit crowded, but the kids enjoyed it.
Before the laser show we admired the sun, which is actually the outer dome of the show room.
Chase was quick to find us a seat next to one of his best buds.
The show was really entertaining, and taught a lot about all the planets...including Pluto. Not sure the teacher's appreciated the fact they confirmed although a dwarf, it is still a planet. The kids loved it, as well as the parents. Then it was time to picnic out front after a quick trip to the gift shop. We picked up some astronaut ice cream to take home and enjoy....although not everyone got to enjoy it, must have been to good to share.
It was a fun day, and I got so many Mom's who commented how lucky I was to have such a sweet son. Most of the boys wouldn't even sit with their Mama's (too cool I guess), Chase was happy to sit with me...maybe I'm just still cool.
