We were planning to walk around the community to pick berries, but when Mary and I got out to the front of the school all of the students had already piled into the school van.

Students splitting into groups. Notice the guy in the back, that is our school counselor Steve and yeah he's holding a shotgun
Looking for berries
This is what we were after

Mary is a 4/5 teacher she is helping me stay sane up here

I had to get one more picture with Steve and his gun
Beautiful hills that surround us
Mt. Pilcher
The bucket can also be used for a hat

Piling back into the van to go back to school
The students that went berry picking had a great time. The plan was to take the berries and make some Eskimo ice cream. However the ride home was about twenty minutes and by the time we got back to the school the students had already eaten all the berries. Overall it was a great trip. Next year we will go sooner so that there is more berries.
I love the pictures of the hills, tundra & "mountain"... Cracks me up! And Steve carrying a gun kind of makes the possibility of running into a bear very real! I'm so glad you have Mary to keep your head on straight, and that your first outing with the kid was such a success.
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures! The one of the berries is especially pretty. Shotgun on a field trip...culture shock :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha they ate all the berries?! That's a riot.
ReplyDeleteIt can also be used... as a hat. LOL.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. Also, love the gun and the "hat." :)
