Palmer's class went up the canyon a few weeks ago. I know there will come a time, probably sooner than later, that I can't go with my kids on their field trips. I just love being with them in their school environment. I love seeing them with their friends. It is so great to me.
The bus ride got a little wild. I have to just say how much I love living close to my cute niece Savanna (on the right). She is the cutest girl ever. She wanted to ride next to me and she held my hand through a lot of the trip. Palmer wasn't even going to walk next to me!
This was the group that I was in charge of.
We sang some fun camp songs while we were waiting for everything to be ready.
This song was "Toody Tah". No idea how to spell that...
I don't remember what this song was, but I got lots of pictures of kids plugging their noses.
The first station that we went to was roasting marshmallows. I couldn't believe how many kids had never roasted a marshmallow!
Palmer started not feeling well at this point. He was freezing and achy.
He had been so excited about his field trip that he really made an effort to be happy.
The next station was a scavenger hunt. We found things like leaves, rocks, pine cones etc.
Each kid got a notebook to write in.
Then we talked about alive verses not alive and the kids drew some great pictures.
The did some "rubs" with leaves and bark.
Palmer missed out on the archery. I knew he was really sick when he didn't want to do this.
This is about when he started crying...and got a really high fever. We were stuck in the canyon unable to get home. Sweet Ms. Van Adrighem let us go and get on the bus. I ate my lunch while Palmer slept on my lap. When we got back to the school I decided to take Palmer home. He went home and slept a little bit and was just fine. So strange.

What a fun little adventure! It's nice that we live so close to the mountains that we can do that! Miss You! :)
