His school had a toy drive for the past two weeks. Each year the school has a toy drive and then the kids walk the toys to the Altadena fire station to deliver them to a Toys for Tots collection location and meet fire fighters. The field trip was scheduled for yesterday.
Upon waking up with a fever, cough, sore throat, and generally feeling miserable Calvin was totally distraught that he wouldn’t get to go to the fire station. So I made him a deal that if he rested and was feeling better I would take him as long as he didn’t cough on or touch anyone. He agreed. But he fell asleep in the car on the way to school and during the first two times I tried to wake him up he didn’t want to go...but eventually he woke fully.
So we joined his classmates and teachers on the field trip. It was a trip to walk the quarter mile to the fire station with 21 kids including a bunch of two year olds. Upon arrival the kids got to see a fire engine and sit in it, met a fire fighter, and got a tour of the fire station. It was a lot of fun. But it totally wore Calvin out.
Today he decided to take the day to rest and recover. He is feeling better and his fever broke early afternoon.
