It’s not all the time you get to spend the day with your daughter and her classmates on a Field Trip, seeing them in their element amongst their friends, a little embarrassed, a little excited, mostly awkward, but confident too, all at the same time.
I was able to attend Sylvie’s field trip to the Gene Autry Museum, learning about the radio and television sensation, his love of baseball, and all the wonderful things Autry was able to do for the people of Los Angeles. We even had time to dig for a little gold while we were at it.
Along with our guide, I was in charge of a group of four or so kids, wandering around the museum, some interactive team building exercises and then lunch out on the field under the trees. The kids ran around and played tag before it was time to get back on the bus to school.
I’m incredibly happy that I had the opportunity to be with these kids and see them, well, just be kids!
