field trip

boo's, um, "spirited" homeroom class took a field trip to the maine historical society this week, and i was a good, good mom and went along as a chaperone.











we rode the city bus downtown, and yes, those kids are swinging from the bars, as well as doing the macarena and singing at the tops of their lungs.













boo attempted to capture the situation in a facial expression. or two.











the field trip really was fun. the current exhibit at the historical society is about collections (of soda bottles, silver, circus-themed figurines, and potato bags, among many others). there were lots of hands-on activities, and my group of wacky boys enjoyed designing their own soda bottle labels. here's boo designing a potato bag:
