COLD to the BONE...

Rachel has been bugging me for YEARS

to go on

a field trip with her.

So I told her, the first field trip she goes on this year...

I will go and chaperone.

Usually a December field trip in Arizona is NO big deal...

and much better than

a field trip in August.

But today...I froze.  

I was COLD to the BONE.

I came home, sat under a blanket and shook!

It took me several hours,

to WARM up.

Now I know most of the country is in BLIZZARD

like conditions...

so I sound pretty wimpy.

But cold is RELATIVE.

And us, Arizonians think a sweatshirt is all we need

in the winter time...

so when I showed up with two sweatshirts, gloves and a scarf...

I got laughed at!

So imagine my surprise...

when these kids made the day seem like a walk in the park...

Literally, we went to a park!

And they made me LAUGH and even have some FUN. 

This was my GROUP...I called them the COOL group!

Rachel's three BFF'S!

Summer - Madison - Rachel

These were just a "FEW" of the "MODELS" pictures!

Listening carefully to the Park Ranger's instructions.

Well done, kids.

It felt so fun to MAKE my own lunch and I had my favorite from when I was a kid...

Peanut Butter and Honey and Chips.

Fun (but cold) Field Trip.
