The second grade at Pioneer Ridge Elementary got to go to the Butterfly Pavilion in Broomfield for their field trip for the year, and I was lucky enough to get to go as a chaperone. Unfortunately, I was recovering from a migraine and felt quite awful; I definitely didn't feel like getting on a bus for a 40 minute ride. I even warned Mrs. Post that I might not make it. The ride there was tough, but once we got out and started exploring, I got much better.
I was assigned a small group of boys: Carson, Gabriel, Logan, and Dax. The boys did really well and had a great time. My favorite part was the actual Butterfly area, where thousands of butterflies fly freely. Carson had a melt down the last time we were there because of how hot and humid it was (I think he had just turned 5, it was awhile ago), so I was curious to see how he handled it. He did great, but was excited to move on to other areas of the pavilion.

| I think the boys liked the nature trail a lot. This was at the end of our hike. |

I had volunteered every week in Carson's class in Star Valley, but hadn't been in his classroom in Johnstown at all. I was thrilled to get the chance to go with him and be with his friends and classmates. This I know...I've got a good kid, and I loved spending time with him!
