Rebecca's Trip

This morning Rebecca left to go on her trip to Washington, DC with about 1100 other safety patrol students. They left from Knoxville Center Mall where there were 25 tour buses. It was really a site to see because they got a police escort out of the place at 7am. There were 2 police cars and 3 blue hawks in front of Rebecca's bus and police cars spaced out between buses all the was back. At one point, all you could see was buses with no end in site. I forgot my camera so I didn't get any pics to post. I only made one picture on my phone, and I don't know how to download it to my computer so you lucked out this time. She has already called and talked to her PaPaw, and they weren't even there yet. I wish I had been up to talk to her. Anyway, they'll be back Monday evening. So until then, have a good day.

I thought I would add something funny about this. I was at work telling my co-workers about a parent getting hit by a car while waiting for their child to leave on the bus. It was almost 4 am and we were all getting a little giddy. Louise just looked at me all serious like and said, "Well, where were all the safety patrols?" When she said that she started laughing so hard she was crying. At that point we all fell apart and needless to say, it was a tearful night the rest of the night. I don't think I have laughed so hard in a long time. Everytime something was said, we would say something funny about it and start all over again. Just goes to show you, the police were there, but how many people have you ever heard of getting hit by a car when the 5th grade safety patrol was in charge?
