Fieldtrips

The fifth grade kicked my butt. All of the kids with a certain amount of points in reading got to go on a field trip today. Reagan begged me to go with her and in a moment of weakness I said yes. It started at 8am when I took her to school. We left about 8:10 and went to the food bank. The kids dropped off the canned goods they had gathered and then we packed boxes. We all got to wear gloves and hairnets. I should have taken my camera but no, I forgot it. After the food bank we went to the mall and split into groups for a scavenger hunt. This took us to all the corners of the mall, with the kids asking can we got here or here or here......After we finished that we got to eat and then shop for about an hour. I just thought that I was done. The last thing we did was go to the "Silent Wings Museum" and learn about the base that used to be in Lubbock and different tools they had during WWII. It was very interesting but we didn't have enough time to see everything. I took Reagan after the fieldtrip was over and she was already so tired that she cried because she couldn't have anything from the museum gift shop. I then drug her to the hospital to see a friend who is having tests run (maybe they'll actually find out what's wrong this time) and then to the grocery store. We finally got home around 6pm and we were beat.
