Field Trip Texts

So, for the past 10 years, field trips were always MY thing. Volunteering for field trips, as painful as they sometimes were, were always things my kids enjoyed, so I did it. I saw butterfly cities, pioneer villages, dinosaur parks, etc. I loved being able to do this for my kids. I knew, however, that going back to work this year would end those types of things. Let's face it, though: Neither Caitlyn nor Zach could give a whoop. But Brynn, well, that's a horse of a different color.

Did it surprise me that Brynn roped her dad into going on her 3rd grade field trip? Hardly. Was I the least bit fazed when Mrs. Hjorth emailed me, thanking Brook for volunteering and to "just come to school with Brynn?" Not in the least. Was I happy that he got to go? You betcha. And I'm sure Brynn is too. The two of them are quite a pair.
