138/365 - Field Trip

Photo & Video  Sharing by SmugMug

Randi and her classmates went on a field trip today to Enchanted Springs Ranch in Boerne. She had a great time, but I honestly think her favorite part of the day was riding the school bus. She's never ridden on a school bus before and was SO excited about it that it's all she's talked about for the last several days. Oh how I wish I could have been a fly on the wall inside the bus on the trip there and back. I bet she felt so grown up and had the best time with all her friends! For some reason I kept reflecting back on my days of riding the bus to and from school and what a great rite of passage that whole process was. It makes me realize that my little one is really growing up.

The ranch was a lot of fun. I had fun taking pictures of the kids, but the other photo opps around the ranch were fantastic and I kept finding myself being drawn away by some randomly cool thing, so it was a really, really fun day for me because I got to play too!

Riding the bus is so much fun when you are not a bus rider! Those are some great photos and I love the collage! I also love school uniforms. Does she go to private school? I wish public schools had uniforms in NH.

These are great pics. That tire horse is a lot like mine. How cute is the baby Bison with it's mom? I really like the excited look on Randi's face as she's boarding the bus. Private school? Or charter? One of my granddaughters goes to a charter school and the kids can wear any combination of official uniform clothing in Red, White, blue, or
Tan. Will Randi have to change schools now that you moved?

I love how she paused for you to take her picture. I REALLY like that holster shot! Great perspective. Looks like a total blast.

Sounds like a blast for her (and you!). I love all your pictures, I can't even pick one out that I like better than the others because they are all that good! Hope the unpacking is going well!

Love your collage! Makes me want to put on a pair of cowboy boots and jump on a horse. Looks like a very cool field trip indeed. :)

What IS the universal draw of the school bus for kids who don't get to ride one???
What a fun storyboard! I especially like the composition of the bottom right image. It feels very grounded and the grouping of 3 is a nice contrast of uneven-ness vs the square edges of the frame.

OMG, I had already looked up this ranch at it was on our list of places to visit! It looks like a lot of fun indeed! Great photos!

P.S. My daughter is begging us to take her on a school bus! LOL
