I went on a field trip with Joshua today! I'll be honest, I didn't really want to. We went to Outdoor Discovery Center and I have been there a lot. It is always cold. The end of October is just not a great time to have a field trip that is 60% outside.
I also thought I was off the hook - I was just the back-up driver. Well, it turns out that most of the other confirmed drivers only had seats for three and another driver was needed at the last minute. So I stepped in.
It was cold. It was cold right away and my toes never warmed up. We did get to go inside for a few of the parts, so there was at least a reprieve from the wind but I wouldn't call the insides warm.
However, the content was new. (I think the 3rd and 4th grade trips are almost the same and having done at least three of them and had no desire to do another.) It was about indigenous cultures and the leaders were good. I learned some things which is always fun. I also got to throw a dart with an atlatl. My second throw almost hit the turkey that we were aiming for, although I'll admit that I was really just trying to get it to go as far as possible. I think I was the closest person to the turkey, so I was happy with the goal change.
I got home and took a short nap before picking the kids up from school. It was enough time to go home for the nap, but not enough time for a good nap. So after I got the kids home I continued my nap. Field trips wear me out.
I made pizzas for dinner, brought Joshua to a trunk-or-treat, finished up dealing with some food...although I didn't actually finish dealing with it I now realize...and finally got to be done with the day. It was a good day, though not my favorite type of good day.
