This last Monday, I was able to chaperone for my daughter’s fourth grade class and another fourth grade class.

As their school bus rolled in, I enjoyed watching the kids bound out, chatting, excited, laughing. Eager to see what the rangers had in store for them.

The DNR rangers had an array of activities and did an awesome job. They encouraged them to see the world around them with all their senses.

The kids were pure joy.

I was sad to see them go, but they had an hour bus ride back to school.

I so appreciate my daughter inviting me to chaperone. The kids asked if I could come to their classroom. I hope I get that opportunity in the future.

Kids are so fun and we,who get a chance to spend time with them are definitely the lucky ones.
