Hudson's Field Trip

Hudson is ready to go! He was sent home with a list of things to pack for his 3 day 2 night field trip. It was enough for a week...haha! Most of this blog will be from his retelling of the pictures to me.

Someone at school ended up with Hudson's hat a while ago. I had not intentions of buying another over priced hat for school. However, the kids were supposed to wear them on the trip so the teachers can keep up with them better and to protect them from the hot sun. Mom for the win! I found a reasonably price white hat, cut out the emblem from the falling apart shirt with a million holes and stains, and sewed it on the new hat! It might even look better than the overpriced hats at school ;) and no one knows the difference!

Waiting for the bus to arrive

Teacher Richard came prepared with quite the first aid kit! :)

BYE!!! See you soon! (Hudson is near the front)

Hudson said this was the rest stop on the way to Naples. They got a snack.

Paestum, an archeological park with 3 Greek temples (They studied Greek Mythology in school this year) It's really cool that they get to see all of these places that they have been learning about all year!

In Pompeii, learning about the history from a tour guide. Hudson is actually in a different group because they had an English translator.

After climbing Mt. Vesuvius, they went to eat pizza. I think Hudson was a little tired. :)

While at Pompeii, they went to a garden inside. Hudson said it was big, with trees and fruit, and very interesting.

The science museum in Naples. "There was a a cool machine that you put your hands on. There were beans inside. After a few minutes you took your hands off and the beans had your heartbeat."

An arch in Pompeii. Again, Hudson isn't actually in this picture. His grade has 5A and 5B. He's in 5B but 5A had the English translator. He was completely fine with that because a couple of his friends are in 5A anyways.
