field trip

Morgan recently went to the post office with her class. Then they went to the park. I couldn't do the post office, but I was able to meet them at the park. It helps that it is only three minutes from my office. She was pretty excited to see me. I watched her do the rope balance beam.
All of her friends were happy to see me as well. They lined up at the monkey bars and each waited patiently for me to lift them up to the bars for their turn. That was a good arm workout.
As much as I tried to steer her away from the sandbox, it didn't work. She dug and dug and filled and refilled this bucket. She kept telling me she was making a cake and I couldn't eat it until it cooled. I love her little mind.

She knows how to swing, but for some reason wanted me to push her. When I stopped to take a picture she got mad at me. Such an attitude.
Before we left we had to get in a game of hide and seek. I found her.
As for the outfit. On field trip days they have to wear their yellow shirt. I laid out a pair of jeans for her and she comes out insistent on wearing those blue striped pants. I tried to talk her out of it, but arguing with a three year old over clothes is not fun. I pick my battles and since I was already losing this one, I caved. She looks like a hot mess, but she picked out her pants and shoes and got dressed all by herself. It won't be the last time she looks like a hot mess.
