field trip

This is usually right up your dad's alley (going to field trips with you), but since he's not here, it's my turn to go! You'd been talking about going to this field trip for a couple of weeks, so I had to try and make it to this one. I showed up to your class a little bit early, just so see your classroom and help out. I looked at the "Career Wall" and saw this:

So if you end up being my boss one day, just remember who went with you to the theater and be nice to your old mom! :) 

We headed to the park to play for a little while and to have lunch there. It was so great to see you interacting with your friends. A bunch of 7 year olds can be a riot. Everyone was so nice to me and had nothing but nice things to say about you. 

You're not the most adventurous kid, and you definitely do not like being outside of your comfort zone, so you were scared to get on the "big slides". You were SO scared to climb on this thing and kept saying you were gonna fall (look how scared you are on the left), you jumped off the first step about 3 times. But, we tried and tried and on the 4th time you got all the way up. It was only about 6 or 7 steps up, and to some that may not seem like alot....but it's a start and proof that fear is all in your head, kid. If you can climb this thing, you can do anything. 

We played soccer for a bit with your friends, well y'all played; no one really wanted to kick the ball to "Isabella's mom"

We went  to the theater, and after going to Peter Pan and enjoying it so much, I was sure that you were gonna be really pumped for this one. We saw "Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile" at the Main Street Theater.

Who says we don't have snow in Texas?

It was a really cute show, and my favorite part was looking over and seeing this:

I can't promise you that I'll make every single school even that you have, I know I won't. But know that moments like this I'll carry with me for the rest of my life. Love you, kid.
