I was away last week for two nights. We took a field trip to Matinicus Island for Inter-Island Event. This is probably my most favorite field trip we take every year because it is always in the Fall when we have beautiful weather and we get to see all the island school students and their teachers. We also get a chance to explore another island which is always a blast. The boys and I had gone to Matinicus last spring and LOVED it so I was eager to get back.
We had a wonderful time on Matinicus. I feel so blessed to take field trips where I get to sleep in my tent and fall asleep to kids giggling and buoy bells in the distance. We made some great memories with all the other island schools and just felt so grateful to be apart of such an amazing group.
Without a doubt the BEST part of ALL the field trips our school takes is reliving the entire trip over again with D & Q on the way back to our island. It is like we have a HUGE debrief of the entire trip. We go over every moment, talk about all our new friends, how much students have changed and grown, how much we love all the teachers, and just how much fun we had.
We had a gorgeous day to come back from our trip and we sat at the back of the Elizabeth Anne and just chatted the whole way about how much fun we had.
Have I mentioned how completely and utterly grateful I am to have these boys as my students. I couldn't ask for better. I meant it.
As we got closer to Monhegan Q said, "You know what I love about this boat ride? It is sunny and the seas are exciting and we are just having an AWESOME time!" I couldn't have agreed more.
Manana is a good sign.
Home sweet home.
