Brayden's 1st Grade field trip was to the Franklin Mineral Museum in Franklin, NJ. I had the opportunity to be a chaperone for the trip, which was fun for me to be with Brayden and all of his friends.
Our tour guide told us that the museum is the home of
the world's most famous zinc mines. The Franklin mine is
especially famous for mineral fluorescence, and a variety of rare species. They had lots of amazing stones and fossils to look at.

Unfortunately, right before the above picture was taken Brayden fell on the rocks and hurt his lip. I am so thankful I was on the trip to take care of him and make sure he was okay. At first we thought because of the way it was bleeding that he bit all the way through his lip, but in the end we determined that a rock probably cut his lip and his tooth hit the inside of his lip. Poor buddy. He had some tears, but was a brave little boy.

We took Brayden to the doctor after the field trip just to make sure everything was okay with his lip and teeth. We got the okay from the doctor, which I was thankful to hear.
