Sierra's First Field Trip in 3rd Grade

Started out as a crazy morning...I planned to drive Sierra and her 2 little friends, Caitlin and Karlie on the Field Trip to the Reagan Library. I had not turned in all of the paper work necessary to be a school Field Trip Driver but I had permission from their mothers and Karlie's mom had talked with the School's Founder who said it was fine if I drove with permission from mothers. Well, when I got to school the Field Trip Room Parents were not okay with me driving and went to discuss it with the teacher who also was only going to let me take Sierra. Meanwhile, Karlie took her note from mom to the teacher and then walked past me, crying. I grabbed her and told her everything would be okay I would figure this out. I started to fight! I went to the teacher and told her I had parent's permission, why isn't that okay! Karlie is completely stressed out, scared to go with anyone else. She took me to talk with School's Founder and I told her the situation and she told me it was fine that I could drive the girl's and she would talk with the teacher. Then I got on the phone with Caitlin's mom and told her they were not going to let me take Caitlin, I then handed my cell phone to Sierra's teacher and she spoke with Caitlin's mom and I was good to go. OH MY GOODNESS!!!
What a great field trip, I love the Reagan Library!!! Learned so much about president Reagan, what a good man, talented man, honest man! I forgot my camera but my mom came with us and took a few pics with her cell phone and will email them to me and then I will post them.
