The Cat in the Hat Field Trip

Asia's 1st grade class went to see the Cat in the Hat at the Children's Theatre.  They had a picnic at Mills Park.  It was FREEZING outside that day.  Asia didn't seem a bit thrilled that I came along for the field trip.  She ignored me the entire time they were at the park.  I ended up sitting on a picnic table off to the side.  I was watching the other Mom's interact with their kids.  I ended up praying most of the park time.  The Lord did a cool thing though.  While I was on the verge of tears, he sent two Mom's to come and sit with me.  One declared herself an "older" Mom, and the other one was a Grandmother.  Both of them stayed with me until it was time to have lunch.  We had a fun time visiting. 

The Cat in the Hat play was good.  Asia seemed to enjoy it.  I enjoyed looking at the set and props.  After the show, the kids were able to ask questions about the play.  They learned what  trap door was and how magnets helped hold some of the props together.  It was a fun afternoon.  Asia did seem glad I came, although she didn't talk to me the whole day.  It was a let down and hard day for me!
