Today Mac went on a field trip to ice skate at the rink a few blocks away from our apartment.   The field trip was reportedly organized for the 5th graders by the PE teachers in celebration of the Olympics. For all I know, the 5th graders go every year, whether it's an Olympics year or not.  But in any event, I'm so excited he got to go on his first ice skating expedition, I'm happy he had a great time with his friends and didn't break any bones, and I'm thankful that his school still believes that these types of field trips are important.
