Field Trip

As you can probably imagine, we have not done many field trips this school year.  Being hugely pregnant first semester and having a newborn second semester were slight deterrents.  But, we had a school wide field trip to an ancient history museum today, and I decided that there was safety in numbers since there would be lots of extra hands if I needed help.

Anyway, while Caleb and Alexa began the tour with the group, I took Jordanna and Sierra outside so that they could both have a snack.

Then we joined the group.  We stayed a few steps behind so that we wouldn't disturb or distract the students.  Pay attention, Caleb!

Alexa had a slight meltdown from being left with the group while I went to feed Sierra.  So she sat in the stroller for awhile to recover.  I put Sierra in her lap for a few minutes.  Jordanna intently focused on the I-pod.

It was so exciting that Jordanna fell asleep.

And so did Sierra.

After the museum, we went out for a pizza lunch.

Jordanna snuggled with Caleb's teacher, Mrs. Jones, while I dealt with Sierra.

Eventually, I passed Sierra off to the table of moms of my students so that I could finish my lunch.  All in all, it was a good day and a successful trip with my passel of children.
