spending a day with my boy

About a week ago I got to spend the day chaperoning Charlie's school fieldtrip. It was fun to see how he acts around his school friends and to spend the day doing stuff that 5 year olds are in to.

The fieldtrip consisted of us riding the city bus downtown and completing a checklist that his teacher had made for us. I was in charge of Charlie and just 1 of his friends so we got to go at our own pace and do things in the order we wanted.

Below the boys are running with the Bloomsday statues. Not pictured is them walking up to each one and declaring if they're boys or girls...Here they are at the wagon...
Monkey bars under the wagon...
Not pictured is us feeding the garbage goat every leaf within a 20 foot radius, riding the carrousel, going to the library, visiting the post office, visiting Matt at work, looking at the Christmas trees at the Davenport and eating lunch at the sushi train place (Charlie's choice I swear).

Below we're killing time at Starbucks. Drinking cocoa and waiting for our bus.

Such a fun day with my little boy!

Who is this "garbage goat" you speak of? I'm intrigued...

It's like a statue that when you turn it on it sucks garbage (or leaves) up into his mouth. It's super powerful, Charlie's friend almost lost a mitten to him.

Sounds like quite the field trip! Does he have room for 1 more in class?
