trippin'

Well, some of you were maybe wondering about my overnight field trip. I didn't cry myself to sleep because of missing my boys (which I told my students I might). We had great weather, not too cold but we did get fresh snow to enjoy. We went snowshoeing, built survival fires, invented animals out of plasticine, hiked, made ice cream in a plastic bag, took water, soil and snow samples from all over to test for pH... It was great. I even got a surprise visit from Hunter. My students were slightly distracted by his presence. Teaching a lesson with a squirmy and curious 21 month old in your arms is HARD WORK! I'm going to have to completely re-do that lesson when we get back to the classroom. By the way... the toque? no showers for two days... as is shown by my beautiful hair! We had a great time but I was still so glad to get home to my boys, my kitchen and my bed!
