Another field trip...

Oliver's class went on a field trip this week to Feed my Starving Children in Eagan. I had never been before but heard lots of good things about the experience. Oliver wasn't super excited about going but once they started showing the videos and showing us how to pack the meals he started getting excited. He wanted to be on the food station part of the meal packing. He scooped up the vitamins and the dried veggies. I had a lot of fun sealing the bags that Oliver helped fill. Together with the rest of our table we filled 10 whole boxes of meal packs. In just under an hour our whole group filled 60 boxes. That's pretty exciting. It was a lot of fun and we want to go back again. Oliver sampled the rice at the end and was surprised at how good it tasted. He was also impressed that the 60 boxes we packed that day would go to feed 35 kids for a whole year!
