Caverns
October 26, 2010
Yesterday I went on my first school field trip, ever. I wasn’t sure how it was going to be helping to corral a bunch of second graders through the underground cavern.
Turns out I need not have worried. I think maybe kids are better behaved than I remember my class being when I was that age. Or maybe it is the fact that being underground there wasn’t any way for the kids to wander off and so I was able to take photos and enjoy it. Or maybe because I only had two children in my group and I am used to counting to seven over and over again in my head. Two? You don’t even need to count two. You can see ‘em both at the same time.
I never realize how tiny my daughter is until I see her with a large group of her peers. She just had a growth spurt and outgrew a bunch of her clothes. Then I go to her classroom and she comes up to the chin of most the other kids.
After walking a mile or so under ground, we headed back up on the little train. The claustrophobic among us rejoiced.The kids all talking about LUNCH! The most exciting part of the field trip is, apparently, lunch.
