May 26, 2009 Kindergarten All Day Field Trip

Being a part-time working mom and also having young kids at home, I am unable to go on some of the kids field trips. However, I am trying to work it out so I can go on the All Day Field Trip for each of the kids when they are in Kindergarten. (Gabrielle gets to go twice because the Young 5s class is included in this event). Each year this field trip consists of a morning at the Grand Rapids Children's Museum, followed by lunch and playground at a township park right by their next destination, which is an afternoon at the Fredrick Meijer Gardens Children's Park.
It was cool, but dry and a wonderful time was had by all.

They had enough parent volunteers that I was responsible for just Gabrielle and her friend Emily for the day. They had a great time together.

This was a big hit with Gabrielle, following the pattern to build her creation.

Can any child spend a day at the museum without doing some grocery shopping?
