Scout's preschool occasionally goes on Field Trips. The only issue is that their field trip policy states that no siblings can attend. This policy has been problematic for me, so I haven't been able to tag along on any of the trips thus far. However, this year, I have Ruby occasionally enrolled in a "Mom's Day Out" program and this year that made the difference--Ruby got to stay in her Mom's Day Out and I got to attend my first ever First United Methodist Church Pre-School field trip.
Guess where we went? The Dump. I mean, they call it "The Garbage Garage," but let's just call it what it really is. The Dump. I went to the Dump with my dear Scout and it was actually really fun.

It was maybe a bit unorthodox, but I really liked the Garbage Garage. Consumer waste is an issue, and it's something that our household could improve upon--reducing what comes into our house, especially! Right now, my kids think nothing of wearing second-hand clothes, recycling our things, re-using our yogurt containers, etc. But I definitely learned from this experience, and I hope that Scout did, too!
