Transportation Week

This week's lesson was actually done over the course of three weeks because we had so much going on!

We packed up our "car" and got ready for a trip!

We went downtown and actually got to see and hear a real train going by!

We even practiced making a train whistle...

With our friends, we explored a historic train station, saw a riverboat and then loaded up in the car for a trip to the beach together!

Once on the beach, we saw lots of helicopters, planes and boats.  FL enjoyed waving and shouting "hello!" to each one (some got really close!).

On the way back, we stopped by an old gas station.  

All the kids got to take a turn at trying the old gas pump (it was heavy!).  This was FLs "gas pumpin' " face!

Once home, we made our own planes and, 

Had fun telling stories of our own journey on The Big Plane from China.

Making them fly was probably the most fun, though!

We also made little yogurt top sail boats.

And sailed them on the ocean blue!

One of the girls favorite things was playing train!   Everyone "got on board" with that idea! ; )

Jesus was our conductor.  We put FL right behind him because we figured he'd keep her out of trouble and she'd keep him awake!

We used our sand shakers from Music Week to help make a train chugging sound.

We had a snack car, sleeper car and even an animal car (thanks, Ella!).

And to finish up the week, we paid a visit to Chicka and Boom Boom's house to pay proper respect to his new car...

Whether it was boats, planes, trains or automobiles, we had a great ride learning about transportation!
