I thought I was going to the Tiger Game with the 7th Graders today.....I got to school at 7:30 and sat in on the parent meeting before we left. The teacher in charge informed us that one of the buses had hit a deer on they way over, but we would work everything out. Guess which bus I was on! SO, all the other buses leave for Detroit and I am stuck in Zeeland with 2 teachers, 2 parents, and about 30 kids and no bus. One of the teachers puts in a DVD and tells us she is going to make some phone calls and try to figure this out, and could we stay and keep an eye on the kids....
An half an hour later the teachers are back with doughnuts but no news on the bus. 2 and half hours after that, they tell us there is no possible way that we are going to get to the game. I felt so bad for the kids, the rest of their class is in Detroit watching the Tigers win, and we are stuck here with no bus! We took the kids to see Prince Caspian (which was a good movie but under the circumstances...didn't really hold a candle to the Tigers). I am sure that the school is going to have to deal with some angry parents....I mean I was bummed, so I know the kids were even more. Thanks to Darcy for taking me out for a steak dinner for taking her place on this field trip!
The good thing about today was I still got to hang out with the kids! AND, Tara and Jake came over and sat on my porch with my new deck chairs!
