I think it’s funny how it takes so much time and planning and preparation to get a big outing together… but it’s ever so much more difficult to cancel said outing should the kiddos not… um… “be in the proper mindset” for such an event… good for you for the necessary cancel and good for you for keeping your cool and turning it into a learning experience! 😉
