Days Gone By

Feb 26, 2005 21:25

It's been a crazy last few days. Thursday the second grade had a field trip to the Aquarium. The kids did great. Friday we had our 2nd field trip, a whale watching trip! This is the first time any class has done this. The kids had a blast and we got to see a group of three whales and two loner whales. It was an amazing experience. For quite a few of them it was the first time they had ever been on a boat. It was scary for one in particular but soon she was up on the bow and running about with the rest of the class. Sadly some of the parents were puking the whole trip. I felt bad for them. Luckily none of the children got sick. We went out of Moss Landing with an outfit that is female owned and operated..female captain ahoy! They do a lot of work with local marine biologists and are involved in a lot of conservation efforts. Theboat was awesome. Two decks, a snack bar, 4 bathrooms, and they let the kids steer at the wheel on the way back. I really think this will be something they'll remember for the rest of their lives.

Today I auditioned for Midsummer Night's Dream. Bethia auditioned as well. She had expressed an interest in being involved in drama. She was so scared but I am really proud of her for doing it. I know it can be nerve wracking for an old timer like me so I can imagine what it was like for a 14 year old among all the "older" people. She auditioned for any of the fairies. I don't know if she'll make it (I'm hoping she will) but at least she has taken the big step.
