Emily, Sophie, Grant, Jacob, Cade , Will and I joined a bunch of the younger homeschoolers for a tour of the Springfield Police station. I was a bit leary, the boys were being wild and loud prior to the tour starting, but they quickly fell into line once the police officer began to show them around. The tour mainly showed of the building, but they did get to see a taser (and I was shocked to learn that each cartridge for it cost $25). I wished that we had gone into the holding cell and been able to see a police car, but the kids seemed to enjoy themselves.

Hey, we did a police station tour last year. One of the homneschooling moms had a dad who was a chief, so we got the special treatment. Basically, our kids were locked up in the holding cell for photo ops. They also got to play with the sirens in the police car. Kind of fun.
We had breakfast out today and were seated near about 8 officers all toting guns and I have to say so many guns made me nervous!

I am sorry we missed some of these. This flu is awful!

Sorry we got disconnected. Our electric ity went out! Now our phones aren't working...so I emailed you instead. ROFL
Only in my family. I am glad we have cable. Hope we get to see you snow tubing on Thursday!
lots of love, Kas
Kim,
Sounds like you got the royal treatment! One of our best "fieldtrips" ever was when we were over in Kentucky and happened to walk by the courthouse and my oldest son asked if we could go in. We did and after getting through security we were just standing there....a guard asked if he could help us and I told him that my son had wanted to see the courthouse...he spent the next 40 minutes walking us around, let the kids sit in the judges chair, jury box, etc, showed them the holding cells, interview rooms, juvie court, all the security camera, it was GREAT!
