Hailey's First School Bus Ride


Hailey had her first field trip of the year. The highlight for her was that she was able to ride on a school bus. Of course, the first two questions she had were, "Why is the bus dirty?" and "Why are there no seat belts?" I was able to answer these questions while sitting next to her on a bus with 60 kindergarteners because I WAS A CHAPERONE!!! This was very exciting for me. Since I teach, I am not able to help out in Hailey's class. I decided to take a personal day so that I could volunteer and meet all of her classmates.

(Not the greatest picture. My sister is much better at the "self-portrait.")

We had a wonderful time at the Lewis Family Playhouse where we say "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie." This series of books is a favorite at our house. The play consisted of two actors who kept everyone (mostly small children) entertained for almost an hour. Their talent was amazing! They were extremely animated and interacted well with the audience. I would love to try to take Haiden to see it before it closes. I recommend it to everyone (young and old).

Some of my family and friends think I wanted to chaperone because I am an overly protective mom (I am getting better), but the real reason I went was to create another wonderful memory with my daughter. Sign me up now as the yearly chaperone for both Hailey and Haiden. This is a memory I definitely won't forget!
