Today I went on a field trip with Sam's 2nd grade class. They've been studying wetlands in science class so they loaded all the 2nd graders up and hauled them to a nearby lake, which is surrounded by wetlands. It was a fun and interesting day, with beautiful weather, and even the parents learned a few things.
Next to the lake area is a park where our half of the group spent the morning, seeing the farm animals, running around and having lunch while the other group toured the wetlands. There is a nice trail that connects the two areas that is probably 1/4 mile or so. On the way back over to the lake for our turn, Sam and a classmate were lagging way behind the rest of the group. I encouraged him to catch up, but he complained that he was tiiiirrred and couldn't go any faster.
I joked with him that if he was gonna run out of energy so quickly they were going to revoke his kid license and make him be an adult.
"But Mom," he replied matter of factly, "I don't have a kid license. All I have is a library card and two tickets to the Fair!"
