Fieldtrips

***Disclosure-No compensation was received.  Informational post only.I volunteered to go on a field trip recently. My fourth grade son went to the Texas state capital, Austin. We had to wake up at the crack of dawn and be at the school. 3 bus full of kids ranging from 4th to 5th grade. Wow. Well let me tell you, I learned so much about our state of Texas. I never got to go out of town at that age with my parents much less with the school. We visited the capital building where we were met by one of the workers who took a picture of all the kids who attended. We then were taken to one of the conference rooms where we watched an interesting video of how the capital building was built. It was so interesting to me. Then we were taken to the Bob Bullock Texas State Museum. We went into a theater where the experince cannot be explained. It was great. We gone rained on, felt high winds of a hurricane, and even had a snake hss under our seats. The kids loved it. We then ate lunch. Then we came back to watch an Imax movie, Texas. I was a wonderful movie that made me love Texas even more. If you ever get a chance to go to Austin, Texas check out the capital and the museum. They are a wonderful part of our history.
