Field Trip

Sometimes we just need to ignore the schedule, get out of the house and go have some fun for a few hours!

As part of my weekly Life Skills Training classes with the kids here at PDK, I've asked to take them on some field trips to places like the library and the museum. Yesterday we went to the Butuan Nat'l Museum and apparently some of the staff needed some time out because most of them joined us too.

Although everyone had been to the museum before, it was the first time they had a guide take them through the entire place. I think it had something to do with a "foreigner" being with them. :) I must admit that I was impressed with the place - very detailed information with artifacts and photographs. It was a great way for me to learn some history about Butuan and also some archeological and sociological facts about this area of the philippines.

After the museum tour, we crossed the parking lot to the "arboretum" and spent about an hour in the park. I think all of us had cabin fever (or as I call it "compund fever") and really needed to get out and play.
