Dad went to Kindergarten!

In school Wes has been studying about the community. His teacher asked if any of the students parents had jobs in the community and of course Wes's dad has just about the coolest job out there. So he spent about 15 minutes visiting with Wes's kindergarten class. Right next to his school is a church that we parked at and the class came out so they could sit around the car and see everything, because coming into the class just isn't the same!

When the kids came out they first listened to Dave and got to ask questions to a real live police officer! Some of them couldn't believe how close they actually were standing to him. The boys were more interested than the girls were.


I just walked around taking pictures from different angles so I could scrapbook them. Only after putting them onto the computer did I notice Wes and the boy next to him! I was laughing! Brooke was running around everywhere.


Dave showed them inside of a police car. Here he is showing them where the "radar" is located. So when their parents are pulled over for speeding, they know what the officer is talking about!


He turned on the lights and sirens for the kids. It was loud and bright. They loved it. He also talked to them over the loud speaker.


At the end he gave them all Junior Patrol Officer Badges for them to wear and their teacher and I took a picture of them together. Later during the day, Dave was saying how much he liked the kindergarten aged kids. He thought they were a really cute class! And Wes's teacher thought he did a great job and wondered if he would come back again next year!

Ya, Mark can borrow the uniform. Just roll up the sleeves and pant legs! I don't know if he can part with the fun belt. Mark will have to find another one!

Dave would be a great class-mom, helping paint or glue glitter on the letters!
