Flash Back #20: Renaissance Festival, February 2012

The 6th Graders were excited to miss a day of school and go on a field trip

to the Renaissance Festival,

I was excited to go too!

We had had beautiful days prior to and the day of the field trip, rain, cold and yes, SNOW!

After walking around in the wet, muddy, cold rain, we decided to just hang out on the bus.

Flat Stephanie was visiting from Florida.

Too bad she didn't have a better Renaissance Festival experience,

but she did have fun hanging out on the bus!

We had heard that it was snowing at PRCA.

Sure enough, on our way home, the mountains had a nice blanket of snow on them.
