On Tuesday the fourth grade took a field trip to Raleigh to visit the state capitol. The highlight of the trip was apparently the hour-and-a-half long bus breakdown by the side of the highway on the way there! One of the charter buses broke down so the entire caravan had to pull over and wait for another bus to be sent. Fortunately Ben was armed with his iPad and Kindle Fire, and was perfectly content. His only complaint was that since they were late arriving in Raleigh they didn't have time to visit the science museum, where he wanted to spend the $20 I gave him at the gift shop there. Instead he spent it on candy and came home extremely sugared-up. He did not get home till almost 7pm (and I had to drop him off at school at 6:15 am) so it was a LONG day.
Here is a picture his teacher emailed of the class. Ben is second from the right, not sure why he seems to be slouching ;)
