Week 17 of 52 in 2017

Jackson:  It was the day of the 1st grade field trip to Cromwell Valley Park and despite getting his wish of being with Ms. Osgood, Jackson was not able to handle that I was with Connor's class even though I had chaperoned his field trip to the Aquarium.  So, I had a stowaway bringing the total of kids that I was monitoring to 10.  He had the best time in the stream and was in the lead of all of his friends and classmates.

Connor:  He was really looking forward to this trip and after being there with him for a 2nd time, I'm not really understanding why. The last time that Connor was at Cromwell Valley in the stream, he complained and complained of water and rocks in his shoes.  This picture demonstrates his happiness in the beginning of the trip down the stream.  At some point after this picture, Connor opted to take his rain boot off and couldn't get it back on even with multiple parents trying to help him. Imagine him unsteady waking on rocks.  He decided on his own that the stream exploration at Cromwell Valley was definitely not for him.
