So I went on the field trip to the Natural History Museum at the U of U with Morgan's class on Friday. What an adventure. Now, always going with Grant's classes I of course ended up with groups of boys who are at times rowdy, but I got use to it and enjoyed going with the boys. Last year I went on a couple with Morgan's class and had girls and really enjoyed that they roamed less than the boys and usually read about the things we were seeing and it was very pleasant. In fact if anyone was roaming too far it was usually my own daughter (that is still a bit of a problem). But yesterday.... I had one cute girl who hung out with me and helped answer the worksheet. Yes, my own daughter was off a head of us the entire time, one girl kept disappearing to hang out with her friend in another group, one girl was pouty because we weren't going into the gift shop and hung behind us 15 feet playing her gameboy and the other girl ran circles around the other four asking when we got to leave because she was bored. My only reprieve was that I had to put money in our meter every hour and so another mother hung out with my group and her group while I ran to the car. She always breathed a sigh of relief when I came back. She had a really sweet group that never left her side and they all helped fill out their worksheet. So Morgan and I are going to have a little chat and I think I might request boys again.
