Here is a side-by-side comparison of two recent field trips that I've chaperoned.
20 minute bus ride to a farm 2 hour bus ride to Richmond
Impromptu dancing with friends "Give me liberty or give me death" reenactment
Time to run around and explore freely 4 stops around town and every minute is structured
Hanging out with big sister Hanging out with Thomas Jefferson
Pleasant company Perhaps George's wig is a bit too tight?!
Laughing and giggling Giggling and laughing
A couple of thoughts:
I know I say it all the time, but I LOVE living where my kids see places in real life that I only read about in my history books.
On another note, I can tell that someday I'm going to totally miss these days of having kids with wide eyes of wonder.
