"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly." - Pres. Thomas Monson

Derek's Field Trip

Derek went on a field trip today. His Kindergarten class visited a nearby farm. I went along to help the teacher and well, let's be honest...to watch my cute little boy having fun.

He told me that the bus ride was his favorite part. I was shocked since the ride home took 1 hour instead of 20 minutes. There was a crash on the freeway and traffic was at a dead stop. Imagine 30 bored kindergarteners stuck on a bus for an hour...yeah, lots of fun.

We took a "hay ride" around the grounds. The driver reminded me of my older brother in his younger years. He was swerving, peeling out, and pretending to run into sheds, etc. The kids loved it, but he made the adults a little nervous.
He actually pet this bunny. Anyone that knows Derek, knows that he has a fear of most animals. So this was huge that he actually touched it. Although, as you can see, he didn't enjoy it much. I'm going to miss my little Kindergarten Derek. It's amazing how fast this year went by. Only 3 days of school left.
