Field Trip!

One of the great joys of parenting is chaperoning field trips. I have never passed one up that has been offered to me. Sometimes the opportunities are hidden, tbh— parents and teachers collude to fill the slots before publishing them widely 🙂

So the key is to watch those calendars, religiously read the slips that come home, and be ready to pounce. Also, since I live in the city, near places where field trips happen, sometimes I can be there in unofficial ways. This gets more important the older the kids get.

Today I had just such a time. I met up with CXO and his 12th grade literature class at the Art Institute of Chicago. I got to be with my baby:

CXO and DXO at the Art Institute, con art.

And I got to see the brilliant show, “Hélio Oiticica: To Organize Delirium

All hail art and field trips.
