KIDS GOING ON A FIELDTRIP

Before, I have always felt hesitant to allow my kids to join their school fieldtrips. In fact, as far as I can remember I never allowed Keith to join any of their fieldtrips either at Ebenezer or Academia…not because I don’t trust the school officials to take care of my kid (well, partly na din!) but also because I don’t trust my kid to behave himself during such occasions so there’s always a danger that he might get lost or destroy something or even hurt someone…just accidentally of course, for I have never known my son to be of the violent type…

This time, however, when they moved to their new school at VMS I began to relent a bit and have allowed them to join their class field trip. After all, Keith is already in high school and I knew he’d be able to behave properly and join his friends wherever they go so he won’t get lost…my problem now is my little daughter who is currently in Grade 1…I am sure she would insist on joining their field trip, too, especially since her Kuya is joining. So I had no choice but to allow her to join but with a companion…so that makes it doubly expensive! Nonetheless, I knew they would both savor the experience of joining fieldtrips since it truly is enjoyable being with friends and going beyond the four walls of the school campus. Sometimes, it may even be educational too especially if the school chooses places of historical interest where the students may learn a lesson or two from our nation’s past.

Here are some pics of the fun times they both spent, Keith had their field trip last September 27 at the Ocean Park, the National Museum (I think?) and the Aerospace Museum near the airport. While Kaye went with a cousin last November 21 to the Marikina Science World (where she saw Tolits), and also the Aerospace Museum and the Ocean Park …
