Field Trips!
It has been a busy week with lots of extra school activities! This week I went on the first grade field trip (Tuesday) to the Clark County Fair Grounds for a Dairy Exhibit. We learned all about different types of cows, how they are milked, what they eat/drink, and how the milk is transferred. The kids had a great time and even got an ice cream bar. The next day (Wednesday) I went to Morgan's Middle School for the honor roll assembly. She received her second 4.0 for another trimester!


Great Job Morgan! Since it was early release that day, we both went to get pedicures to celebrate.



That same morning Brinley had Kindergarten Roundup. This is where she gets to go to the Kindergarten class, meet the teachers, and do some activities. The parents go to another room to learn more about the Elementary school, the teachers, and about Kindergarten. I actually sent Jon to this event since I couldn't find a sub for my class. Brinley is very excited to go to Harmony and had fun with her friend's at Kindergarten!

My last school event of the week was Mason's fourth grade field trip (Friday). His class went to the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. This is in Oregon City, OR at the end of the Oregon Trail. It was a pretty fun field trip. We learned about the pioneers that traveled on the Oregon Trail and many of the struggles they faced. The kids also visited a hands on Museum where they were able to load a wagon, dress-up in pioneer clothes, and play with pioneer children's toys.
This picture is of Mason and a friend Marissa from his class. Overall it has been a crazy school week, but I am grateful that I'm able to go on these field trips and support my children!

Ah, field trips! I really do miss them. Most of the times that I went on such adventures, we did things I probably never would have done. One that was fascinating to me was the time I parented a field trip to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. Most interesting was the hair analysis part where we looked at hair samples of the kids under a special microscope. Monique's hair was a broad, dark strip; her friend Laura's hair,
which was very light blonde, showed a thin, whimpy faint-
colored strip. I found a Ritz hair
on my clothing and that looked
totally different. Seems that
human and dog hair is not the same at all. Keep up the good work!

Such a busy week that I haven't even had time to blog the week or the last two weeks for that matter. We had a good time with the kiddos though didn't we?
