chaperone

i'm thrilled that my boys want my company on their field trips.  Especially, that older boy of mine.  Last week i chaperoned for Elijah's class at Fort Hunter.  It was a great time and this park is very close to our house so we can take Shawn and the other two boys back for a visit.

next stop - philadelphia with joseph's class yesterday.

this field trip was so special to me because as a school girl, i too, went to philadelphia with my class.

so fun to relive those memories with joseph.

a bonus in moving "back" to pennsylvania!
