Let me help take the stress out of planning by sharing my tricks and tips. I even added a handy checklist to make your planning as easy as can be. Check it out and tell me what you think.
How to plan a successful field trip.
I had a spontaneous and fun evening with my family tonight. We packed up dinner (my yummy chicken salad and fresh picked blueberries) and had a picnic at the airport viewing area. At our local airport, there is a nice area with picnic tables where you can sit and watch the planes come in and also take off down the runway. It was neat to watch the airplanes up close. We also found a radio station where we could hear the air traffic controllers and pilots. Pretty cool. My kids did not want to leave. I'm pretty sure we will do this again sometime.
