Alex had his first field trip today. Yes, here even the 2 1/2 year olds go on field trips. And this was no small field trip! The preschoolers and their parents/ayis boarded four large busses and rode from Victoria Kindergarten in Pudong across the Nanpu Bridge into Puxi.
Alex loved the bus ride. He was so excited about it. They gave us a sack lunch for the kids and he started working on the lunch during the bus ride. We stopped on the Bund and walked to the Bund Tourist Tunnel. There were about a million of us! Alex could barely hold his excitement when he saw the Tunnel cars. He had a hard time waiting in line, so I had to hold him.
We took the tunnel under the river back to Pudong and played on the Pudong side of the Bund for a while. Alex had a tantrum because I wouldn't buy him one of the cheap plastic toys. Nice. After that we got back on the bus and rode to the Lujiazui Park for lunch. This is the park that Kirk took Alex to. He had a lot of fun running around after we ate lunch. This is a really nice park.
We had to board the bus one last time to go to the Aquarium. He again enjoyed his time here. He even pointed out the rainbow fish as we had just painted one together the night before. He was the only kid who basically ran through the aquarium. We had 2 hours to go through it, but we made it through in 1. Since I had no coins for the toy rides at the end, I called Liu and he picked us up. I did buy Alex popcorn though!
He took a really good nap that afternoon. I think he is a fan of field trips!
