Mason's First Field Trip

Mason went on his first field trip today. His class went to the center branch YMCA for a little swim in the wee bitty pool they have there. I decided to be a parent volunteer for this trip just because Mason has never been on a school trip before...especially not swimming in such a big group.

I think he loved the bus most of all. We all got on one of those big orange (or are they yellow) school buses- blast from the past for me! I haven't been on one of those in a very very long time. Mason loved the bus and he was the only little kid to say hi to the bus driver. Reminded me of the kid on Forrest Gump.

The pool was a lot of fun...contrary to the photographic evidence from the event...Mason had a great time. He even wanted to jump in the big pool they had there....luckily I caught him in time before he decided to dive in...even if his feet would be nowhere near the bottom.

All in all...everything went great and next time I probably won't even have to go to make myself feel any better. The pool is so shallow and they have so many people watching the kids that I'm sure he would be safe.
