On Thursday I joined the 2nd graders from Oakdale on their field trip to Wildlife Prairie Park in Peoria. Thankfully Shelby's class had enough volunteers & her teacher was kind to me and gave me just 2 girls besides my own to keep track of! Although, it didn't take much for the 3 of them to remind me that I am really not much fun. I told them if they kept running ahead and tired themselves out, I would not be carrying them. I lost track of how many times I was asked if it was time to eat and the number of times I heard how starved they were. And when they made a beeline to the playground equipment, I only let them play a little bit before I made them continue on the search for animals. I figured I did not ride a school bus for almost an hour for us to do what we could have done back at school!

finally!!!!
After lunch we visited the nasty snake house and then we came across the huge slide and another play area. We finished up our tour here.
Shelby & her favorite boy Quentin
always have to be goofy
Overall, it wasn't a bad bus ride or trip around the park. I did find it interesting that my child did not sit with me on the bus. On the way there she sat with Addis and I sat with a dad of one of her classmates. On the way home, she sat with Dawson (her current friend that is a boy - mom's words & her boyfriend - Shelby's words) and I sat with Autumn a girl from her class. Now I must rest up before I go with Morgan on the K field trip. I've got a few weeks - hopefully that will be enough.
