The field trip was a blast! I think I can safely say, all the kids had so much fun! If you haven’t taken your kid to the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery, I highly recommend the place. There are so many interactive science learning that can happen! You should be proud of your child. They were all well behaved and so kind towards one another. A special thank you to all the parents who came along and helped by chaperoning the kids. It’s a big task, and I couldn’t have done it without you. It freed me up to move to all the groups and spend more time with the kids. I had some seriously fun jam sessions on the piano with some of the kids!
