October Review - Part 2

LAST SOCCER GAME

Elsie's soccer season was great!  She ended up loving it, and was excited for every game.  Her coach was always encouraging her and cheering her on.  Her favorite position was still goalie, but she had a chance to play all the positions each game.  We always reminded her to get in there and don't be afraid to go for the ball.  Most of the time she would make it look like she was trying to get in the mix, but she just kind of ran around on the outside of everyone.  It was so funny!  I'm so glad she had a good experience and wants to play again next year. 

FIELD TRIP

Elsie had her first Kindergarten field trip, and I got to go along with her.  We went around to different businesses and the airport.  The bus dropped us off in the parking lot by Macey's, and then we had to walk around the strip mall to visit different places.  We went to Little Caeser's (the kid working didn't even know where coming so that one was kind of lame), Arctic Circle where they got a free cone, the Eye Doctor where Elsie got to see the inside of an eye, Frozen Yogurt place where we got free samples, and Macey's grocery store.  We ate lunch at the park.  Then we went to the Spanish Fork airport and got to see a helicopter and a small airplane.  Elsie thought it was great!  I was worn out by the time we got home.  Her favorite part was getting to ride on a yellow bus.

She didn't even come close to finishing that cone.  I ate most of it!

PUMPKIN PATCH

What would fall be without a trip to the pumpkin patch?!  Most of them charge a bunch of money to get in and do their little activities, but we found one that is free and we love it!  There's a haybale maze, some pigs and donkeys, a hayride, a corn pit, and, of course, pumpkins (you pay for those).  Elsie brought her friend, Brooklyn, along for the fun.

This is the 3rd Halloween that Elsie has worn that shirt.  haha!

Other October Events:
-My birthday came and went.  We were in St. George (and driving home) for it.  My bday present was supposed to be my trip to Toronto.  But Aaron got me a new small camera, too.  Yippee!
-Parent/Teacher Conferenes were last week.  Miss M had great things to say about Elsie.  She said she loves having her in class, that she is very polite and helpful, is a star student.  It made me so happy!

Next up:  Halloween!!
