field trips

Grace and Grant both had field trips to the Phoenix Wildlife Zoo and Aquarium in the week after our Disney World trip. This field trip has always been a huge highlight for Grant. He was so happy being there with his friends. Eden was pretty happy being there too. The day was hot and dusty. We got to do all his favorite things before we headed home: Carousel, log ride, and feeding the giraffes. He wore his preschool shirt from last year. It was oversized on him last time, and barely kept his tummy covered up this time. Hard to believe how fast things can change.

Grant's trip to UT with Cori put me in a very unique position to be able to go with Grace on her field trip at the end of that week. I couldn't be a regular chaperone because I had Eden with me. But I was able to be a part of her group. There are always plenty of parents on these trips, and Gracie's 'group' consisted of one other girl and the girl's mom. We had a great day. The chaperone mom and I became fast friends, and Grace and her partner were very like minded in the things they wanted to do. This made zoo trip no. 3 in the course of one week for me and Eden. So I let her chill in the shade of the stroller with my phone for entertainment for most of our time there. Grace and her partner worked quickly on their worksheets and we got to do a few things I've never done at this zoo including the boat tour and bird feeding. I also had some time to visit with Grace's teacher, and I always love seeing my girl with her friends. People make her so happy.
