Field Trip Report: we went to the post office processing center today. We saw all kinds of cool machines that make our mail move super fast round and round, up and down. It was amazing how fast everything moved and impressive that more of our mail doesn't come all squished up! Driving home Beth commented, "I didn't understand how that all makes the mail go where it's supposed to go." Yes, it is a complex business, Beth, but even though Jill was super worried, I do believe our letters will make it to Grandma and Grandpa's house...let us know if you get our letter, 6 were sent out today. The kids actually got to put them on the conveyor belt and watch the first stage of sorting.
I don't have pictures or cool videos of all our mail being sent off because you can't take pictures inside the processing center. I guess I might end up with an incriminating photo of a letter from someone written to someone they shouldn't be writing to...I do appreciate that they are protecting our privacy. But here's our group at the end of the tour:
**note the hats and coats and Devan sticking his new Post Office coloring book up his shirt...that is because it was POURING outside. Yes, we Californians got a little taste of fall today :) Jill asked to put on her rain jacket first thing this morning (she so rarely gets to wear it here in sunny So Cal :) She still has her pj's on underneath!
