I chaperoned Madalyn's field trip last Wednesday to Cabella's, Aquarena Springs, and the San Marcos Park. It was so much fun. It really made me so thankful that Madalyn is in the Dual Language program at Tobias - the parents are committed, her teacher is amazing, and the kids are wonderful. I was ready to go back to first grade myself. These are the things I learned on my first grade field trip:
1. School bus aisles are a lot more narrow than they used to be (or my hips are wider, but I prefer to think its the former)
2. Boys still have cooties, thankfully!
3. Ralph the Swimming Pig and the Mermaids are no longer at Aquarena Springs
4. The glass bottom boats are actually educational
5. All of those dead stuffed animals at Cabela's were 'harvested' (totally different than being killed-but you end up stuffed nonetheless)
6. Keeping track of four 7 year-olds is a full time job (thank heavens I ONLY have 3 kids, he he)
7. Having a well-liked child is a comforting experience as a parent (truly everybody does love Maddy Raymond)
