Field Trips and Field Day

So I promised the kids I'd go on at least one field trip each year. 

So of course I waited for the last ones. 

Connor's was at the Rock Creek Nature Center. 

Which despite the rain was a whole lot of fun!

We had a hike and got to give feathers to the birds for their nests and saw all sorts of creatures!

Connor of course being the boy he is, wanted to pal around with his buddies instead of Mom. So I was left to watch most of the time. But that is my favorite part anyway so that worked out just fine!

Bella's field trip was at Baltimore Zoo.

And she got the bonus of having Daddy come too!

She is of course a lot different then Connor and wanted to cling to us for everything. Having us there I know was a mixture of excitement and anxiety for her. But we made the most of it and she LOVED it even though it was a LONG day! 

Field Day was also around the corner and my goal is to go every year and help out. 

This year I asked Bella's teacher Mrs. Burroughs (Connor's old teacher and who we've loved this year), if I could help her class during Field Day and go to Connor's Lunch. 

So that's what I did. I ran kids back and forth to go to the bathroom and fill up waters, or go to the health room. It was a work out but a fun day with the kids.
