By now Roxi must be much better! I hope you had a good (American) Mother’s Day, too. Yes, it looks like Trudy is about to eat the flowers in your photo!

It sounds like a great trip! School children are so fortunate here to be able to skip off to the continent like that! Hopefully there will be even more opportunities once you move to NL.

No cameras??? Pooh.

I hope she’s all better now?

Julia, I think the field trips here are amazing! I wanted to go too ;-)

And yes, bummer about the camera. Her friend had one though, and Roxi borrowed it to take a few pics. I think they’re on Facebook now. Plus the teachers took pics too. Hope they burn CDs for all the kids!

Ok, MAYBE I’ll try escargot. Everyone says it’s good!

And yeah, too bad about the camera. Next time I think I’ll just tell her to take one anyway.

I want to go to Roxi’s school so I can have field trips like that! Except for that horrible rule of no cameras – it’s almost like it didn’t happen if there are no photos!

Sounds great! I’m glad she had a good time. She should have tried the escargot though. I’ve never had frog legs but escargot is rather good. Too bad about the no camera rule. I can’t imagine why they wouldn’t let you bring one.

Thank you, Chaitra! Roxi slept 14 hours yesterday and felt a lot better because of it :-)

Laurie, one of the chaperones took photos, so I am hoping they’ll be available to download. Also, one of Roxi’s friends defied school policy and brought a camera. Next time she’s taking hers… What rebels!

I think they made these rules because too many students have lost expensive electronics on school trips.
