I am completely exhausted from the week. This year I am teaching 5th grade and we took the kids to Outdoor Ed. Unfortunately it was a Tuesday/Wednesday trip this year because they pass around the opportunity for the glorious Thursday/Friday trip. We left from school at 8:30 Tuesday morning. 
The fun started with an hour long bus ride on the back of the bus. Once we arrived the kids immediately start their first session. We split the kids into 8 groups with about 14 in each group. Only 3 of my kids were from my class.
We had dirt boarding and forest study before lunch. The kids loved dirt boarding. What's not to love? They had a blast going down the hill. After lunch we had team building, disc golf, and fishing. The kids were so tired by dinner. We finished the night with a campfire and songs.
Then the worst part. Loading kids on the busses for the LOUD drive back to school. You'd think they would be too tired to function. They were not.
The parents had to be at school to get the kids at 8pm and by 8:30 on Wednesday we were back on the road to camp. Day 2 was much shorter. We had archery, orienteering, and tree climbing.
We all loved tree climbing but man did that harness hurt. The kids were getting so high!
Luckily the second day the kids really were too tired to be loud. We got back to school with just a few minutes to spare before the kids went home like they would on any day.
The experience was fun but sucked the energy right out of me. Thursday was spent regrouping from two days out if the classroom and getting sub plans ready.
Saturday is Baileys wedding and Jackson is the ring bearer. Maybe I'll sleep for Christmas break!
