Don’t Worry, the Adults are Still Here




























Hi, everyone. Someone suggested that one of the parents write an entry also, just to reassure everyone back home that the chaperones are still alive and with the group. I am here to tell you that yes indeed we adults are still here, and we are in awe of how great a group of kids we are traveling with. But don’t just take my biased word for it. Today, while touring George Washington’s home, no fewer than three guides (there is a different guide in every area of the house) commented on what an outstanding group of kids this is. They were listening to the guide, asking pertinent questions and interested in the answers; they were polite and enjoying each other’s company. I suppose this all sounds a little too idyllic, and I guess things are never perfect, but it would take me awhile to think of any troubles we are having. So, you parents, rest assured that things are moving pretty smoothly so far, and take satisfaction that you have done (at least!) some things right in raising these great kids! Mary Corbin

    I loved your entry and I'm glad to hear that the adult chaperones are still in the picture - though i never see you in any of the pictures.
    I can only imagine the positive impact that are kids are making in D.C. - can you imagine a group of polite, energetic, interactive, "unplugged" alive group of pre-teens - what could be more fun for those tour guides. Thanks, kids, we're all so proud of you - and you're making a trip next year a closer dream for all the 5th & 6th graders @ Carden in the process. Mrs. Krueger
