November's Field Trip

Downtown San Jose Christmas in the Park
 
What do you get when you take Light Rail with 11 preschoolers, lots of beautiful Christmas trees, the cold weather and smiles from ear to ear?  
A memorable field trip with PattyKakesKidz!

First, we gather all 11 preschoolers onto light rail.  People were ooohing and aaahing at our children.  I feel like we were on stage, as everyone couldn't get enough of the cuteness of our little friends.  This field trip included PattyKakesKidz and our friends from Tanya's Preschool.  We have all become good friends and enjoy many group fieldtrips with them.     
Look how intense the kids were on the train:
Rules were, stay together, sit quickly so you don't fall and have fun.

Mom, look, I'm on a train!

Up on the knees so we can look for the tunnel.

Sitting and waiting for the train to arrive at Christmas In the Park
Once we arrived, we organized a "Buddy System".  We shout out, "FIND A BUDDY".  Immediately, all preschoolers look for a buddy, hold their hand and make their way through the crowds. 
 One at a time, we stop at each favorite Holiday Display, shouting every time they see something totally awesome.



This group of preschoolers loves to pose for the camera, as you will notice here:

Trains, wow, this is always a favorite.

Oooooh, we are just so excited to be here!

Really, I'm not cold LOL!

After the trees, off to the fountains to have snack.

Pass the snacks please.

Look at me, me, me!
Finally, we round up the group and head back on the train.  We arrive to our vehicle and head home.

If your families make a trip to Christmas in the Park, you will find our group tree there.  It is number 254.  Here is a picture of our tree and also a picture of the ornaments we made to put on the tree.  I plan to go this weekend and put them on. 
I hope to see many families there. Happy Holidays from our home to yours.

  1. Our polar bear ornaments never made it to our Christmas in the Park tree. It turns out the kids all want to take them home and if they go to downtown San Jose, there is no guarantee we will get them back. Soooo, these ornaments will all go home next week. Just love those little guys.
