Goose & Duck – first overnight field trip for Annika

7-9 May 2014-

The fifth graders are a bunch of lucky kids!  They get to go on a two-night, three day trip to a place called Goose and Duck.  I think it's actually more of a resort than a camp but I'm not sure as I've never seen it.  The trip is part of their "transitions" unit – they're transitioning from (sniff, sniff) elementary students to (ack!) secondary students.  (I'm a bundle of nerves just thinking about it!)

Ready to go!!!

Annika…at the very BACK of the bus:

Bye kids!  Have fun!!!  (teachers, good luck!!!!)

And they're off!

Every night I got a phone call from Annika.  She said she was having so much fun!  She got to bunk with her best friends – Mimi, ChaeRin and Clare.  Annika said they got to go to Mutianyu (a fun section of the Great Wall) and got to ride the toboggan down the hill.  Sweet!  I want to do that too!!!!

I'm glad to have her back safe and sound…and I'm glad to hear she had a blast!!!
