Friendly Pines Field Trip

I volunteered to be a chaperone on Lexie’s overnight field trip. It was 3days and 2 nights. We went to Friendly Pines. It is about an hour and a half away up in the mountains.

It even started to snow a little bit! Some of the kids had never seen snow before, so it was pretty cool!

Of course Lexie loved every minute of it! There were only a few girls that dared to do the 50 ft drop!

I was scared to watch! She was up so high! They are supposed to jump and try and ring the bell.

It was a fun experience. I am really glad I got to go with Lexie.
