So, I was duped into chaperoning another school trip.
3 days in the mountains with 150 middle school students. The fun starts Wednesday morning.
It generally is a good time but the weather can be insane...one extreme to another in just a few hours. For example 2 years ago it was 80 during the day and when we got up the next morning we found that it froze overnight. Last year it was in the high 60's to mid 70's then at noon the wind started to pick up and we hit gusts of over 70mph. The winds destroyed tents and dropped the temps to the low 50's to high 40's. Most of the kids were not prepared. It was awful. I swore I would not go this year...but..here I am, prepping all of my gear and getting ready to drive 3 hours to spend the week with adults I don't like.
I keep telling myself it is for the kids and they love the trip...not about me, its baout them, not about me, its about them, not about me........
Anyone else a sucker for the kids?
