Ah, another milestone. Asher went for his first school excursion! His school organised an outing to the Jacob Ballas Children's Gardens one of the mornings, and all the children were decked out in their school 'PE' attire. Asher has never worn the uniform before, and we don't even own a set! His school is quite casual and the kids usually just wear their own clothes. I ended up having to borrow a set from Jane.
I've brought Asher to Jacob Ballas a couple of times. Am not quite sure what the teachers did there with the children, but from the pictures it looks like they just brought them for a walk around, which is fine. According to Asher, they played at the playground for a bit (and he remembers some classmates in particular chasing one another). This version I think I can believe. He sometimes tells all kinds of stories when I ask him "how was your day?", some of which are clearly from his imagination and cannot be true in reality. Really quite amusing to hear :)
He was very happy in the morning to be in his uniform though :) Beaming away to himself, especially when Jon and I said how nice he looked. He insisted on wearing his red cap on the way to school to complete the look. They were blessed with good weather that morning. It's been raining heavily lately, but that morning we prayed for sunny weather in the car, and thank God! It was perfectly sunny! The rain only came in the afternoon when the children were all safely back in school, and it poured cats and dogs at that!

I haven't seen photos from the excursion yet. They looked hot, but it must be so fun for them to go to the Botanic Gardens.
I think the teachers just put up a poster with the pictures for Kaizer's class in school :)
