Jenna's 5th Grade class went on a field trip to the California Museum of Science. The busses departed at 7:30 a.m., so it was an early morning for us. Jenna worried that she wouldn't have a friend to sit with on the bus, but she was brave and asked some friends if she could sit with them. They were good sports and sat three-to-a-seat on the way over. On the way back, Jenna found another friend to sit with, so her day went pretty well. She said the science center was boring, but because she took a camera, she was able to talk about the different things she saw. The coolest was the space shuttle Endeavour. We heard later that one of the docents commented that she wished she had had a camera to take a picture of our group entering the space shuttle room. Ours was the first group of the day so it was quiet. Some great music was playing, and the kids faces were full of awe as they stared at the huge shuttle. Kind of a reverent experience I guess. They ate lunch and Jenna's friends had fun with the camera. The grounds were beautiful also, and I love that Jenna admired them enough to photograph them. This was a huge trip for her, and one of the first that I have not gone on with her. She did really well and was pretty positive about the experience.
