This past Friday was Lyla’s spring first grade field trip which means this is the last time we’ll ever be on a first grade field trip. Hard to believe!!! I got to chaperone this trip, and it was all about visiting monuments. I snapped a few pictures with my camera phone, and even though it was sunny, the weather was much more chilly than we expected. Thankfully, we were slated to do a lot of walking which helped keep us all relatively warm (since we didn’t dress for the chilly temps).
We got dropped off at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, then we walked over to the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial.
From there we walked to the Washington Monument and stopped for a snack and a class picture at the base of the monument, but it was incredibly windy at the base, so after a quick snack and picture, we set off to walk to the Lincoln Memorial.
By the time we got to the Lincoln Memorial, the wind had died down, and the sun was shining on the steps of the memorial. It was warm and comfortable, so we hung out there for awhile, ate our lunch, and watched a dance performance being filmed at the base of the steps. The kids got a chance to run around and play in the grounds near the memorial, then the bus picked us up there, and we headed back to school. We had a good time, but we were exhausted when we got home!
Nina’s class had a short field trip the same day to the local high school to watch the first act of a play they were putting on. It’s hard to believe the school year is winding down and planning for the end of the year is in full swing. This school year has gone by so fast. I can’t believe we’ll have a 2nd and a 4th grader in the fall. These girls are growing up fast.
