I got to chaperone Lucas' capitol field trip this year. He is such a hoot when he gets together with his friends. There were SO many other schools there at the same time. It was ridiculous trying to find parking. I actually had to park up the hill almost a mile away from the building. The building was so full and loud, it was hard to hear our tour guide. But Lucas had a great time; we learned a lot and we also got to sit in the chairs of the House of Representatives. The House Speaker Mike Shultz came in and talked to the kids and answered a few questions. Lucas got picked on and asked him, "Can you make a law that prevents parents from controlling their kids' lives and telling them what to do?" and Mike just busted up laughing and said that was a great question and one that he probably would've asked at that same age. But he told Lucas no, they actually do the exact opposite and try to let parents have as much control over their kids as they can.
We have new hockey team here in Utah and we are having trouble deciding on a name. One kid asked what they new name would be. I think they had like 4 names that the public could vote on, but we voted in class between the Utah Blizzards or the Utah Yetis. Lucas and I voted for the Blizzards and Blizzards won, so he said he would tell the head person in charge that the 4th grade Bluffridge Elementary kids voted for Blizzards.
Lunch time came....and went for Lucas. He ended up getting a bloody nose on the way to lunch, so we spent the majority of the time in the bathroom trying to get the bleeding under control. By the time we did Lucas only had 5 minutes to eat, so he had to eat as we walked across the street to the Pioneer Museum. I love that I got to spend time Lucas in his class and that he had such a great time.
