Lance is home!!

Lance had a field trip this week up north. He left on Monday morning, his entire class went, and they came home this afternoon. He was pretty nervous for a number of reasons: away from home so long, the outdoors, the challenges they were supposed to try, but he conquered it all.

He came home tired, but talking 90 words a minute about all the things they did. We got a recap of what he liked and didn't like. He tried to psych himself into doing a high rope challenge, but couldn't quite get up the nerve to go through with it. We will give him the excuse that his "partner" freaked him out a little because Oliver had a seizure while up on the course and had to be brought down, then Lance was supposed to go. He even hated one of the meals, but still ate it because he was so hungry. It was such a great learning experience for Lance even if he didn't conquer all of his fears. He is so much sure of himself already and he said he got to be better friends with some of his classmates.

I'm glad he is home, but he didn't have to bring me gifts... He came home and we found 2 ticks on him. Yuck, but hopefully that is the last of them. Now I have a ton of laundry to do also, but I'm still glad he is home. Disclaimer on the picture: I didn't take the time to take a picture of the pretty guests, just borrowed this picture from another website. I don't know what kind of tick Lance even brought home with him, but YUCK!
