Bright Horizons – Field Trip Fun

As the day ends, I'm able to say it was a good one. Although, I did miss out on the free pastry from Starbucks for not getting there by 10:30am. I admit I'm more than a little bummed about that.

Instead, Aidan and I went with his class to Great Explorations. This was the rescheduled trip that fell through last Friday.

I do have to say that Great Explorations was a lot of fun, although I was surprised to find out that Aidan didn't even recall having been there before. I'm sure we've been there at least times in the past! Oh, Aidan did manage to score the only incident report of the day that I know of. He accidently hit Devin in the mouth with the oar… bleeding lip and everything!

While I do applaud Bright Horizons for adding this trip to the schedule and keeping things as organized as possible, I do have to say I'm disappointed that the same bus driver was allowed to take us out again today. This is the same person that I saw mentally break down from an inability to handle a chaotic situation. And, charging back onto an interstate after already having made the decision to take an exit would not be considered responsible. It's basically the same person that totally lost it from the whole debacle that was the first field trip to the Photo Museum. I can say her driving today wasn't any better. I swear it was a curb she hit heading back that sent the bus into quite a shake. And, her obsession with following the bus ahead is irrational. But, I digress… the trip overall was really nice. I feel very fortunate that I'm able to be a part of things.
