We were able to take our field trip to celebrate Tyra on Thursday, May 12. It was a day beyond all of our imaginations! We got to ride in a Hummerzine to our favorite place, Ocean City, and play mini golf, have lunch at the boardwalk, and then get ice cream.
Tyra sent us beautiful weather: Ocean City was about 72 degrees, a bit breezy, and full of sunshine. When the Hummerzine pulled up, we couldn't believe our eyes! We are used to taking the big yellow school bus on field trips. We rode in style in a limo full of fun, friends, laughter, and even balloons!
It was tough to narrow down the 200 pictures to fit our adventures into this blog. Here are some highlights of our day, thanks to Miss Nicole and Tyra. We can't thank them enough for their kindness and generosity, and only hope that these pictures begin to show how we celebrated Tyra. We know she was looking down on us from heaven smiling and laughing with us.

A note from Mrs. Grunden:
I know it took me a while to write this because there was so much to narrow down! However, while writing this post, I realize that our original Tyra Trip was exactly three years ago today. Looking through the pictures from the last trip reminded me that no matter how annoying I am with my camera, I will continue to be my class's paparazzi. Two people from our last trip have since passed away, and I treasure their memories that I was able to capture on "film." The trips that Nicole and Tyra provided us with will always be two of my favorite days.
Tyra sent us beautiful weather: Ocean City was about 72 degrees, a bit breezy, and full of sunshine. When the Hummerzine pulled up, we couldn't believe our eyes! We are used to taking the big yellow school bus on field trips. We rode in style in a limo full of fun, friends, laughter, and even balloons! 
"A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words" so - snap away Mrs. Grunden. I am thrilled that the day was so enjoyable and am overwhelmed with gratitude for all you did to honor my sweet girl. I will always cherish and 'show-off' the scrapbook with Thank-yous from all the children. I'm not sure how we'll top it in 2014 but am delighted that "Hers is a story without a The End"
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful! Love you Tyra!
