Field Trip

It's was a very hectic week, last week. Feel like I wasn't home much and nothing much got done, but that is life. I got asked to go on Olivia's field trip with her class to McKinley monument in Canton. Never was there before, so why not! I have to say that 2nd graders are so easy to do a field trip with. The occasional boy talking out once in a while, but I've learned that that is boys for ya, so different than girls. We had a beautiful day for it and warm too. At this age they are all into "cool" stuff so they pay attention.

You had to climb all those steps to get inside to see the above pic. I had to laugh when one boy said to me & Liv's teacher (Mrs.Warzinski)," if us kids can climb to the top, so can you." I thought that was hysterical coming from a 8yo. to a 36yo. Funny stuff those kids say.

Yes, 2nd graders are into bunny ears. I really don't care for this pic of me, I was up late that night and with the time change (which is kicking my butt) I really wasn't caring what I looked like.

Oh yes, I got to ride the bus with the kids. Note to self: Drive yourself next time.

This field trip was really fun and I enjoy all the kids in the class. It was somewhat of a science center also, so lots of cool stuff to explore. I took a pack of gum with me, knowing it was going to be a long day and would you believe my daughter ratted me out. No, they are not allowed to have it, but I tried to sneak it and she either smelled it or either she would catch me putting it in. We are too much alike. I didn't have enough for the class so that was my excuse not to share, but really, my own kid telling on me! What's this world coming too! She also made a big deal of the fact that I didn't leave my jacket on the bus. They all had too b/c they didn't want any one's coat left behind. Well I WOULD NOT forget my coat b/c I am a reliable adult who would not leave their coat behind.......hey the excuse worked anyway!
