Sep. 22, 2006 - Fire station day
The children and I went to the Fire Station today as a planned event through our local group. Besides my little ones, my friend brought one of hers, and 3 other moms came with their little ones. The fireman who showed us around was great and the kids seemed to like it, but they didn't ask questions like I thought they might. The moms didn't really talk to each other and my friend and I just had our cameras with us and that's what we came to do (yearbook and newsletter purposes).
It's too bad that there was not some deeper connection with these ladies/moms. I don't know if any of us knew each other except my friend and I. It think I want to explain this to the Event Coordinator of our group--that, after we get the fire station tour, we ought all to meet at the park to get to know each other better. Might help some of the "what-do-we-do-now" looks.
Other than that, I had fun.

In our field trip co-op, we would all bring picnic lunches as often as possible and eat together afterwards. The field trips were always fun and interesting themselves, but moms and kids alike just craved the time with other homeschooling friends.
I've enjoyed reading through your blog!
