A Day At The Lake
Today was my son's big end-of-the-year class field trip, so I spent the day helping shepherd about seventy first-graders around Farragut State Park here in North Idaho.
Dads were well-represented, with eight of us helping out on the field trip. One mom. Something about hiking and the outdoors kept the moms away, I guess, because they usually dominate on class outings and parties.
I'm amazed at how much energy these kids have... We went through the visitor's center, the old Navy brig (the park was a Naval Training Center in the 1940's), and hiked over a mile along the lakeshore. Then we hit the playground and the children suddenly found new reserves of energy to climb, slide, play baseball, and chase ground squirrels.
