Field Trip

Jordan's school took all the 4th and 5th graders on a field trip to the Grand Canyon.  While I've chaparoned field trips in the past, I knew that being on a bus with a bunch of 10 and 11 year olds for several hours was not my cup of tea.  Just imagine this.... three hours on the bus to Williams, AZ, two hours on a train to the rim of the Grand Canyon, three hours exploring the Grand Canyon, then two hours on the train back to Williams and three hours on a bus back home.  I'm not sure what adult would think that is fun.  Sure it's quality time with my kid, but I can do that at home!  Okay, maybe that was harsh.  Anyways, super Step-Dad Rob offered to go with Jordan to the Grand Canyon.  What a great guy!!!   

 My boys before they headed out.  Matching shirts and all!

Jordan's all ready to board the train.

Jordan with his "girlfriend" Adrianna.  Aren't they adorable? 

Now ask Jordan about his trip to the Grand Canyon and he'll tell you about this little guy.  Not about how beautiful the view was, not about how fun the train ride was, but how the squirrels would jump right on your lap for food.  Typical 10 year old I suppose.  I'm glad he had a good time and that Rob survived the trip.  I don't think I can talk him into that again.  Hehehe.
