Bonanzaville

It’s been years since I’ve been to Bonanzaville in West Fargo. I think the last time I was there was for a school field trip when I was in 4th or 5th grade. I remember it was one of my favorite field trips. I was a big Little House on the Prairie fan and going to Bonanzaville as a kid reminded me of the show. This year Jacob’s year end field trip was to Bonanzaville and I volunteered to help out. I had to meet at Jacob’s classroom around 10:00 and from there we hopped on a school bus and headed out to Bonanzaville. I found out real quick that 4th graders can be loud and rowdy! Once we got to Bonanzaville we broke off into our groups and it was up to the parents to keep track of the kids in their group. We were given a packet with information on each building and a scavenger hunt. We had about a hour and a half before lunch so off we went venturing through the different buildings. Some of the buildings the boys were interested in and others they were in and out in no time. After lunch we hit the last few buildings and it was time to head back to school. All and all it was a fun trip. Jacob and the two boys in our group were very well behaved, which was a good thing! I’m glad I volunteered as it was fun spending the day with Jacob.
