the best thing

The 5 year old went on her end of the year field trip yesterday on a big bus with a bathroom on it, to a fantastic pizza place an hour and half away. They had go carts. where she won a first place ribbon for driving, miniature golf, all kinds of games, a roller coaster, a huge buffet, a variety of places to eat, she ate in the movie theater and watched Old Yeller. I asked her what was the best part of the whole day. She said that her mom was there. Mom. What a concept. Too bad she's not around enough for the child to be able to enjoy the big fun days for what they are.
