Field Trip

Today Ellie Grace's class had a field trip. This is very exciting at our house. At the schools here, every grade gets one field trip each year. (we didn't do this at our last school, so this is a big deal for my girls!) Each class decorates a plain white t-shirt so that they will all match and then they wear them again for field day in May. Ellie Grace's class did hand prints on their shirts. Each child put their hand print on each shirt and the teacher wrote their name inside the hand print. They are cute.

Ellie Grace's class went to downtown Houston to watch a play. This made this mom a little nervous. My baby went on a big yellow bus all the way to downtown Houston...yikes!

After the play the came back to a park here in Sugar Land to eat and play. Sweet Ellie Grace fell asleep on the bus! I met her at the park and had lunch with her. She was so glad I went, and I wouldn't have missed seeing her there.
Abby's class goes on a field trip in 2 weeks. This means EG now has bragging rights to the field trip. She's the little sister and has been on a field trip before her big sister!

I love the one field trip a year idea. My kids go on a field trip every other day and there's no big yellow school bus. Parental transportation! Guilty if I don't drive, crazy if I do. It's killing me!

Thanks for commenting on my blog! I rode the bus one time for a field trip with my daughter. I got so car(bus)sick I thought I was going to really embarrass myself. I always drove after that. Glad she had a great time!

I would have gone with you and had lunch with Ellie Grace too. But you know she would have looked at me with that look! She would have been thinking......"what is she doing here?!" So happy she had fun!

I love the field trip idea too! I can't wait till my baby girl starts school.
I lived in Sugar Land for a little while but am now in Boston. I went to Dulles High =).. I miss Texas, it's one of the few places I would consider moving to if we left New England, (which is never going to happend according to my Yankee husband). Also, thanks for the comment on my blog. You were my very first comment haha..

Erin loved the field trip too! Next time I'll have to go for lunch too, I don't know how that slipped my mind. Field trips are the best!

Don't wash the handprint shirt. I'm sorry I forgot to tell you. The handprints start to fade/wash off. fara
