1st Grade Oil Ranch Field Trip

A week ago I had the pleasure of accompanying Islas first grade class to the Texas Oil Ranch.  It was so much fun to see my baby girl in her element and we had a great day.

Since so many people sign up to chaperone, each parent was only responsible for two kids (their own and one more).

This was a win - win for me as I was able to be in the moment and really enjoy our day as well as capture some of the memories on camera.

Isla was paired up with one of her best friends, Avery Grace and the two had a blast bouncing around from one activity to the next and meeting up with other friends along the way.

In the past seven years I've been to my fair share of these types of farms.  They each have petting zoos, train rides, bounce-o-lines, etc... But this one was by far my favorite in the Houston area.

there was some obvious excitement when this little guy managed to escape

Due to a scheduling mistake by the school, these tired kiddos had Field Day all day the next day at school.  I think it's safe to assume that they all slept as good that weekend as Isla did.

Isla is very aware of me and my actions when I drop her off at school, if I dare tell her goodbye, or god forbid say that I love her in front of her friends she informs me I'm embarrassing her, and quickly stalks off.  However, field trips seem to fall into that special category where I'm her most favorite person ever and she doesn't want to leave my side.  I know it won't last forever, but I'm gonna soak that up for as long as I can.  It really was a great day.
