Tonight, I feel spent. What does that word really mean? Back in high school and college I read some trashy romance novels, where spent was used alot. " afterwards, they laid there spent". Don't get me wrong, I get it, but I'm only referring to a 4th grade field trip. It was held at Jester Park...and yes I am spent. It was a great day, but I'm still mad at Louis, the nature guide, who took us up a hill practically running.I was tagged the lolligagger. Seriously. I don't think the back of my hair dried until I got home, which was after I took a wrong turn and drove to the Boone exit until realizing...oops.
I loved talking tonight to Ben about his thoughts from the trip. His favorite part was the fishing station. He caught 3 fish, I took photos of each. The flashback that kept creeping into my mind, everytime Ben held up his catch, was Jack. I cried the first time Ben caught a fish, with daddy at his side..Jack's gentleness, patience, pride and love for Ben are etched in my brain forever. Fish #2 I felt the same way.
Grant said that was the best station. I am glad you had a good time...and, by the way, what kind of nature guide takes kids up a hill running? I would have been crabby too. Or I would have called him a show off.
