Jacque's Fieldtrip

The bus ride is always her favorite part. She of course sat by Dara, her guy-friend. That day she insisted on wearing 6 different colored barrettes in her hair. I tried hard to make it look nice. She is so funny. I found out from Charles' mom that he thinks 'Jacque is cool', cause she plays with the boys.' hmmm I wonder why. Isn't that cute though, he told his mom that.

First they went to the post office & they took their own money to pay the postage, and got to postmark the letter themselves. Then they put the letter in the box to mail. The best part was when the teachers were showing the post office boxes and actually found a man getting into his box to get his mail. They quickly asked him if they "look in his box and see what was inside". It was really funny. Thank you to all the patient citizens of Kenner, LA that day. And the very nice man who let 40 preschoolers look inside his post office box.

Then they went to the mall to the famous - Cafe Du Monde - to get beignets {ben-yeahs} It is a real treat and great tradition here. They are like "utah scones" to me. {I say that 'cause what they call scones here, are not what I know as being scones in Utah} But the beignets are a square, hallow pastry deep fried with lots and lots of powered sugar. Look at all the powered sugar we had in the bottom of our bag. WOW. Most people go there for the coffee too. It was a fun field trip.
