Big Bee went for a field trip to the Forest Adventure for a fun obstacle course, and she wrote about this account in her blog. Seemed like a fantastic trip for her!
Here I am, standing aside, always behind her, lending my eternal support whenever needed....observing her as she becomes increasingly independent, developing her own personality, character and life....feeling entirely bittersweet :)
Is this how our parents feel when we grew up into eventual adulthood?

When I reached Forest Adventure, my mind was whirling with excitement while chatting nineteen to the dozen with my best friend. The day had dawned crystal clear and cheery. After queuing up to wear the harness, we started the tree-top challenge!
My class went for the kids course. Some parts of the challenge were tricky, though most of them were actually quite easy. My favourite part of the challenge was the zip-line. It was exactly like a flying fox. I fastened the harness onto another rope and pushed myself off the little area to stand. The zip-line was fast and swift while my legs dangled in mid-air. I landed on the sand-pit at the bottom of the zip-line and sand went inside my shoes.
After a short rest, we needed to walk all the way to where the bus was. While walking, it began to pour as if a river had been let loose. As we all did not bring umbrellas, we had to run as fast as our legs could carry us another 150 metres to where the bus was. We were all drenched when we reached the bus! We finally sat on the bus and went back to school. It was a tiring but wonderful day.

Blessed mum: No, I didn't - these were Big Bee's account only! Did you go? Hope your holidays are great so far!
