IFly Fieldtrip

When the preschool first announced they were going to take a fieldtrip to Ifly/Flowrider/IRock I knew Matt would want to go. They said they were going to give all the kids a chance to rock climb, a couple kids and their chaperon a chance to do Ifly, and just get to watch the flowrider. I talked to Matt about it and sure enough he was excited to go. Its nice since he is gone so much that he can occasionally do things like this to spend time with us during the work day. It turned out that the hospital was still crazy busy so I ended up working while Matt took her on the field trip. They had a great time. After they were done Matt text me to let me know they had had a great time and how it went. I immediately panicked seeing as I had forgotten to ask him to take pictures. I was so happy when Matt replied that he not only had taken several pictures but also video!!! Yes he deserves an award for the most awesome husband and dad! So here they are I will explain what they did as we go. So they went to Ifly first there the first took all the kids into the tunnel and turned the fan on low to give them a demonstration as to how the Ifly works much like wind. Once the fan was going they let water out and watch it turn into a funnel and how the water suspended in air. Afterwards a few kids tried it out Matt said Hallie decided she didn't want to try it she was a little nervous.
Next to Hallie is her favorite friend Millie. She talks about her almost constantly. 

Next was IRock. They talked to the class about the rules ect and then harnessed all the kids up and they all got a chance to climb the wall. Matt said Hallie was nervous at first and then ended up climbing higher than the rest of the class. After she had her turn they rotated the rest of the kids through and Hallie started calling for Matt when he looked around to find her she was at the top of the free climbing wall waving from the top.


After they found out the flowrider was closed for construction so they didn't end up getting to see that but had a great time seeing what they did. Im so grateful for Matt and his willingness to take time to spend time with us. I always knew he would be a wonderful dad but he has far pasted my expectations...he gets better all the time.
