field trip quote (from ;leaping from the box blog "Occasionally the children and I will head out the driveway for places unknown. Someone just tells the driver "go right" and "turn left up ahead" and we see where we end up! Other times I'll hand one child the road map and tell them "We're going to ___ and it's your job to get us there. I don't care what route we take.""
