Kindergarten Field Trip

Yesterday was Cami's first public school field trip...she was sooooo excited!  She was up early, ate breakfast and dressed in record time.  Im still not cleared to drive, so daddy went on the field trip while I stayed home and thought of all the fun I was missing with Cami...guess when you have three kiddos you have to get used to dividing your time.  Im sure Ian often thinks about all the fun Im having with the baby all to myself throughout the morning, or at playdates and activities with Cami and Aidan.  Im so glad that he is flexible with his work schedule and gets plenty of time to be a part of all the milestones and activities.  

On top of all the excitement of Dewberry Farm itself, Cami also got to ride the BIG YELLOW BUS for the first time ever.  I asked her if it was as great as she thought it would be and she said "um, not really...the other kids kept leaning on me to see out the window.  BUT I still wanna ride the bus to school because I dont mind kids leaning on me so much."   Hmmmm...bottom line, Im still not ready for my baby to ride the bus on a regular basis.

Over all they had a great time.  Ian had 4 kids assigned to him and the trip was very well organized...only one little mishap.  At one point, Ian was gathering the kids to move on to the next activity.  They were just waiting on Cami to come down the "fireman's pole" on a playfort.  Somehow she missed the pole and ended up free falling about 6 feet from the second level of the fort landing on a wooden deck below.  Ian said it looked really scary and he thought for sure there would be a broken bone involved (she fell on her hip).  However, she only cried for a moment and spent the next 20 minutes jumping on an inflatable bubble, confirming that all was well.  I think Ian was counting his lucky stars that of all the kids to have anything go wrong it was our kid and he was there to comfort her.  

So at the end of the day we had one exhausted kindergartener who was in bed by 7:45!  God Bless Field Trips!
