Aiden's class took a field trip to the post office main distribution center. Lucky daddy got to go since KC was too little to go on the behind the scenes tour (where you even need closed toe shoes). A highlight for the kids was being weighed on the biggest scale imaginable. The eight kids in Aiden's group weighed in at 280 pounds. Going into the back of a postal truck (which they checked wasn't attached to an engine so they wouldn't get taken away to Timbuktu) was another fun time up until they pretended to shut them inside - Ah, not Aiden's kind of joke. The big bats and faux birds flying up overhead keep the birds from entering through the vents. They watched the super sorter machines - one of which is called Barney because it is purple - and talked about all the scanning machines.
