I must say this has been a busy week or this post would have come sooner. I got to spend last weekend in Elgin IL with some great friends. I was there for my honorary nephew's 6th birthday and for a girls weekend. It just so happened I got to spend Saturday at Elgin's Public Works Day. The city works building opens up for the public. They have great activities for kids and family to watch and learn. I must say that my friend's 4 children had a great time (partly because of all the sugar they were given). The kids got to climb in and out of fire trucks, snow plows, tractors and other large construction equipment. They had the kiddie train out for kids to have a ride and the forestry department had a rope and pulley system set up for kids to "climb" a tree. It was great to see all the workers having fun with the kids. Here are a couple of pics of the day.
As you can see lots of fun. Sorry won't show the kids' faces. Afterward we had the party complete with a pinata and more sugar! Then we had our girls' night out....aka dinner and a movie. It was a fun time with friends.
As for me.....I have a week left of work before summer break. I am looking forward to it. Now for those of you who think teachers have a plush job and don't deserve their summers off.....well, I can honestly say that the teachers I work with do. Until I was in this job I had no idea how hard teachers work or all the extra things that they dealt with on a daily basis. Now that I have this knowledge, I know how much this break is needed. So, to all you teachers out there.....have a great summer and relax fall will be here before you know it.
