The simple things are most precious

Well today was the big 5th grade field trip to City Museum which is a really cool place.  Very Earth friendly and full of natural beauty.  The natural beauty of children having fun, giggling, playing, and the adults letting their inner child out to play for even a moment.  Every single thing there, every piece of art, is all done from recycle items.  And I will tell you that I never dreamed that gears and nuts, bolts, chains, pvc pipes, and a myriad of other items I can not identify, could ever make something of beauty or usefulness.  The kids and adults had an absolute blast.  We had approx. 200 kids and 48 adults with our group and we were not the only group there.  It's an incredible place of fun and imagination.  It's the Arts at their best as far as a kid is concerned anyway.  Our group was 6 5th grade boys who were fabulous.  We gave them the responsibility of monitoring each other.  Two had watches who were told how long they had at each station.  They set their alarms and were responsible for getting each other back to our meeting point on time or they'd have to sitout the amount of time they were late.  They were early every time.  Never argued with us, they were just great.  I'm very proud of them.
I'm tired but it's a very good tired.  A happy one.  It's been a good day.
I'm off to nap, maybe I'll get up later, maybe not.  Have a wonder-full Friday evening and a really great weekend.

On the outside my body is weary.
On the inside my spirit soars as
the mist of the crashing waves.
