    I worked at a therapy camp in the summers when I was in my early 20s. It was pretty intense. At the end of the season, most of the staff would head out for a camping trip in the North Dakota Badlands. Hiking, wading in the creek beds, drinking beer at a cowboy bar, watching the moon come up from the top of a butte, such great memories!

    A camping trip 'disaster' I remember is....

    As a mother volunteer, Girl Scout weekend at cabins. Thunder and lightening - too many in cabin even though large. One girl had to go home first night - asthma, second night one lost a tooth ! We told her the 'tooth fairy' does not go camping!

    My son was in the Jazz Band in middle and high school, when he was in 7th or 8th grade (can't remember which), Ray Charles was giving a FREE concert in a town 100 miles away to all the Jazz Bands in the area. I begged the band director to be chaperone (which doesn't happen very often), so I got to see a great concert with an auditorium full of really excited kids. So fun!

    Another great field trip was.....

    again as a Music parent chaperone, attended The Nutcracker in Boston with class. It was a nasty wintry day - we barely made it on time - some schools had to cancel so our group was ushered down closer to the front! Great memory.

    they are so full of hope, it's a chance for a happy family get-together (my dad said you should go to family weddings, otherwise you will be stuck just going to the funerals!), and I love the flowers, fancy food and cake Happy

    Okay. I didn't attend this one but I personally know the bride (she used to date someone I know). The bride got so drunk at the the reception that she became belligerent. The police were called and she was arrested. True story!

    I wasn't at this one either, but knew several of the main characters quite well. This was way back when I first started teaching, the vice principal (Mr. L.) was a very tall (about 6'6"), and very intimidating man (I was scared of him, and I was a teacher!). At his daughter's wedding, the groom was a NO SHOW. Mr. L. got so mad that he threw the beautiful wedding cake in a tall garbage can and then climbed in and started jumping up and down on it, while his wife yelled at him & his daughter cried hysterically! Shocked It made quite a story for the teacher's lounge (and the daughter later eloped with the same guy.....probably didn't dare try the fancy wedding thing again!)
