Druga Wycieczka

I was asked to go on another class trip with Macie's class and another 2nd grade class this past Monday. This time we took a day trip out to a small town about an hour and half away called Łeba (pronounce weba). We went last year for a few days with our friends so we had been once. This town has amazing sand dunes! However, we didn't see them this time. We took the kids to a "Magic Garden" where there were maybe 20 different game stations set up. The kids paired up and had to play the games and whoever won each game received the stamp. At then end of the time whoever had the most stamps won! This took about an hour of time. The games were all handmade and very creative...and challenging!! It was so fun to see the kids get excited and competitive. There was no rhyme or reason or order the games. They would finish one and then find another open one.

When we finished the games, we walked across the street and went through a labyrinth. Fifty 8-9 year olds split into 4 groups with 1 or 2 adults...and NO MAP!!! This was a great challenge but the kids had a blast! I really saw how much of a leader Macie is. She may have been heading in the wrong direction, but everyone confidently followed her. I am so proud of her and pray that she will lead people to follow after Christ! 

At the end of the time, we walked back across the street (which was more like a dirt road) and had a bonfire and cooked kielbasas. Now I am not sure American schools would have a big bonfire for 2nd graders without more parental involvement. And of course all of the kids brought money to buy ice cream and each got 2 scoops plus candy for winning and whatever candy they brought. The bus ride home was CRAZY!! But all in all, a fun day! I am thankful Macie's teacher asked me to go.
