This past Monday, Kor and Kimb had their last field trip of the school year. This time, it was help up in the mountains just a few minutes to the west of Huntington. They had a chance to bring and eat a sack lunch (always a thrill), spill most of their soda pop that we packed for them to drink (I didn't care -- it was outside), slide down the side of a dusty hill, run some races, and hunt for bugs to put in their bug catchers.
They had a great time, and the races where each run three different times for both boys and girls. Kimball took 3rd, 2nd, and 1st place in his rounds, while Kor came in 2nd, tripped near the end of the second run, and just had fun running in the last (after much convincing on my part).
I convinced the two of them that we needed to let the bugs go or that they would miss their home right before we took off. All that I need is extra buggage around here.
Meanwhile at home, Jared took an extended lunch to be with Luke and Layne. Layne was still hurling all over the place. She's picky with her beverages (like me a guess) and refuses to drink anything but water or milk, and since milk was not an option, she spent a good portion of the last week on water and whatever else she managed to hold down. She turned cranky on us as a result. She wouldn't even crack a smile for the camera ... pics to follow on the next post.
Love the pictures of them running - they are so fast - way to go K&K! It looks like a fun day for a field trip. I am glad you released the bugs because it seems like you had enough bugs around your house this week with all of you getting the flu bug that is.
ReplyDeleteYou kids really learned a lot about bugs from you speaches you made on Skype for us. I'm glad you left them there though. I saw lots of dandylions, but no "bears". Where were they?
