Lynn Meadows Discovery Center - Gulfport, MS

Mia's class had a field trip to Lynn Meadows Discovery Center on Halloween. LMDC is just like the Children's Museum but I think it's even better....everything works, nothing is broken and they have an outside play area with picnic benches to eat lunch.

Here's Mia ready to get on the bus for the long ride to Gulfport, MS.Here are the 3 Pre-K classes that went on the field trip together. Can you see Mia?Waiting for the Pilot to take her seat and taxi us down the run way.Here's Ryan shining Mia's shoes in the Barber section. Mia working the register with Alexis while me and Rachel shop in the grocery store.Frank and Mary Claire....a.k.a. Angelina and Mia doing the news and food segment at LMDC-TV.
Mia working the camera at the TV station.
Kayaking...they had a tv in front of her so she could see herself paddle or look while she was working the rapids.
Here she is trying to touch the button to make the ball go back down. Air was shooting out of the black spout and lifted the ball up into the air.
This was neat. It was a 3 story enclosed area that the kids could walk, jump and hop to teh different platforms that were not alway connected. You couldn't fall out because they had the steel mesh connectors that surrounded the area.
Dressing up for High Tea.The ticket lady giving tickets for the train.
All aboard!! Here we are taking a train ride.
This is the outside area....they had tree houses built around large oak trees, a cabin, train and stream with a flatboat.
Mia and Emberlynn in the flat boat at the end of the stream.
Up in one of the treehouses.

Here's Mia's class with Ms. Parris and Ms. Cheryl at the end of the day.
Mia loved this crane. They all took turns spinning the wheels and making the crane go up and down, back and forth.
Back on the school bus for the ride home. All the parents were praying that they would take a nap and be ready for trick or treating later that night. Sure enough, most fell asleep. They got back to school an hour before dismissal. Here's Mia and Corryn sharing a seat on the bus.

When they got back to school, Belle from Disney World came to read a book to the class before they left for the day. Everyone wanted to hug Belle before she left.
