Mia's Schullandheim - Kennenlernen Tagen - or simply: Mia's Class Trip to the Bavarian Forest

Each year, the German schools go on a class trip for several days to get the students together outside of school and to spend quality time with one another. This year, Mia's class went for 3 days to the Bavarian Forest. 26 kids, 2 teachers and no additional chaperones for 3 days. Gotta love the lack of liability. (To give you an idea of the difference in schools between my kids ... when Bailey's school had a College Fair DAY trip to Ramstein (filled with 16-18 year olds), they needed 1 chaperone per 10 kids. They are old enough to drive, yet they need a chaperone - kind of crazy in my book! Something else that I thought was cute is the fact that Mia's Class was allowed to bring things to play tricks on each other with. With 4 girls against 22 boys - it should be fun to hear the results of the tricks (for ex. Mia brought fingernail polish and mayonaise - yikes!!!). Hopefully, she will come back with lots of fun stories. They even get to go on night hikes with flashlights - so much fun! I love the different experiences that she gets to enjoy. Hopefully, there will be many wonderful memories for her to look back upon!
An early morning "selfie" with "my sticker" Like a sticker, she is always with me, so it is so weird when she is away :-( I already miss her!!!


All packed up and ready to go...


Mia with 2 of the 3 other girls in her class. Luckily, they have all become fast friends. Can you tell that she didn't get any of the German height  :-)
