Field Trip ... Sometimes not so much fun...

Riley's field trip this year was to Chase Field, the proud home of the Arizona Diamondbacks. We were all excited, expecting to tour the field, the locker rooms, meet some players and coaches. Jim and I debated for weeks on who should go with him and my Mom was here, so of course, she's going too.
So mom and I set out with Riley's 3rd grade class to Chase Field to sit in the seats for 2 hours and listen to pre-recorded discussions with players on the JumboTron. Not my idea of a fun filled trip. The Science center was there, on the jumbo tron, as well as live with a few experiments to share.
Other than the one experiment that exploded the trash can lid 30 ft in the air, Riley proclaimed "This is the most boring field trip ever!".
Even the teachers were disappointed, but hey, at least it was a day off work and out of the classroom!
