A Bus Ride and Screaming 6 Year Olds!

I decided to ride on the bus with Jack and his class to the Environmental Center! I had definitely forgotten how bumpy the bus is (especially if you ride at the back!) Jack sat with his mommy on the way there (we played eye spy the whole way) and on the way back told me he was going to sit by Gracie. She is a very cute little girl in his class. Jack can always find the pretty girls! See ya later mom!
On the nature walk part of the trip they all got to use magnifiers and look at organisms around the trail and pond areas. It was so fun to see how excited the kids all got. When we walked by the river and saw the ducks swimming below Jack raised his hand and told us all that he could tell the difference between a boy and girl duck because the boys were green and colorful and the girls were brown. He also said he knew it because his daddy shoots them! I thought the guide would fall into the river with that comment.
Jack couldn't wait to get his hands on this really big and ugly snake! Mommy on the other hand could wait! We saw all sorts of cool animals. Bees, ferrets, prairie dogs, tarantulas, rat snakes, mice and their babies, turtles, frogs, and rabbits.
This is what being a mom means to me. Just being able to spend this fun time with Jack and his friends was great. I love that I have the opportunity to go on field trips and help out with his class. Thank you tons Mimi for watching Bailey and Connor.
Thank you Jackson for being a good boy and trying so hard at school.
