Field Trip Week

With a kindergartner, 2 junior high students, and a high school senior, dinner table conversations at our house are very interesting! Topics include college applications, the next youth activity, soccer practice, and which little kids lost their clothespin for misbehavior. A couple weeks ago, the whole week had a similar feel. On Wednesday, October 8, I went to the Pumpkin Patch with Savannah's class. Everyone should experience tromping in the mud with 100 kindergartners to look for just the right pumpkin! It was a lot of fun, but a challenge to keep up with what felt like chasing ants around an ant hole.


On Saturday, October 11, I went with Kasey and the high school band to Northern Illinois University's band day. About 20 high school bands joined NIU's marching band for the half time performance of the football game. When we arrived, we stepped off the bus to the sound of one high school's drum line rehearsing. It was so exciting!!! I really enjoyed the day listening to fun music and visiting with the kids and other parents. It was so fun seeing Kasey right in the middle of the field leading her section of the band.
