True Story: We are old

Yes it's true. I volunteered Nathan and I to be chaperones for the 8th grade field trip to Lagoon. I knew it would be exhausting, but I needed a day out of my classroom and I needed a day away from my hard behavior problem students. (There were grade requirements so my problem kids couldn't go). Plus, the only "chaperoning" was on the bus to and from Lagoon. Once we were there, the kids ran free and us teachers got to do whatever we wanted to. It was awesome.

We had a great day. We went on a bunch of rides and ate some snacks and hung out with some students. We met up for lunch with the rest of the teachers from my school and spent the rest of the day with them including an amazing teachers vs. students bumper car match. We won by the way.

Anyway, by the time we were on the bus ride home, Nathan and I were beat. Our backs hurt and our feat hurt and we were sleepy. Meanwhile the kids still screamed and sang and jumped around. We realized how old we're getting. It's pretty sad.

Anyways, here's a billion pictures you didn't ask to see!

Here's our bus load.

 Riding the cable cars.

I love this man.

In line for another roller coaster. I haven't been on a roller coaster in years and I was like a kid in a candy shop. I wanted to run around and ride every one.

Brady and Justin on the Rocket. Easily my favorite ride.

Kiddos! 

Brady, Nathan, and I ran off to spend 97 dollars on ice cream. It was worth it.

Banana Split. Barf.

Why is my hair 97 different colors?

I've decided that riding rollercoasters with coworkers is awesome. But watching them is way funnier.

Best picture I have ever taken. They were a little uncomfortable with the shared seating.

Some of my favorite ladies.

Hard to see, but this was a little taste of our teacher vs student bumper car fiasco 

Waiting for all the kiddies to make it out to the bus. This is where we realized how old we are.
