Boring With a Little Bit of Fun Sprinkled In

Snake is back from his class trip. He got back in the evening, tired, hungry and a little bit crabby. As usual, I poked and prodded wanting to know how the trip was, what did he do, was it fun, how was the food, was it cold, did he have enough clothes, did he have too many clothes, who was in his room, was the bus trip fun, who did he sit with, did anyone get sick, and so on and so on. Finally he said "Mom, its like most things-- boring with little bits of fun sprinkled in!" Okay, that is life as a 13 year old sees it. As usual, it all trickles out eventually. He had more fun than he cares to admit. He climbed some huge rocks and got to repel down the sides. He jumped from a pier that he thinks was about 30+ feet high. (I saw video of a previous trip and I think he is pretty accurate on the height.) They kayaked. He also got to climb this telephone pole kind of thing, which was higher than the pier. Once you get to the top, you balance for a second and then you jump and try to catch a trapeze then you drop down into a net. He did it. Pretty cool. His big disappointment? They didn't sell any t-shirts or souvenirs. Because everyone wants to commemorate the most boring moments of their life.
