vaughnspaughn: the sound of one hand high-fiving

clearly we haven't done much better in our quest for organization and/or time to complete basic tasks like blogging or, um, showering. yesterday was my last day at my former job so i took the opportunity today to spend the day with bea at school. i meant it to be an opportunity to watch her work and learn more about how her day is structured in hopes of helping her be more successful in school. in reality, i managed to get suckered in to chaperoning a field trip to a park in humble, texas. the park was pretty neat - it featured a 19th fully functioning (and staffed with kids in period costumes) settlement. we got to see black smithing, and fabric weaving and then a weird musical...performance? i also took several of bea's friends around the woods on a hunt for geocaches. the first one we found was a pretty big box with a ton of random gifts inside. the fact that i led these girls to actual buried treasure? they loved me. i spent a lot of time fighting off various kids who just wanted to hold my hand and be a part of my awesome. i'll go ahead and ride this high for as long as i can remember that i did something cool. probably i will forget by tomorrow morning.
