Little Rock Field Trip

At the end of November, I was able to be a chaperone on Braden's class field trip to Little Rock.
We went to the State Capitol and the Clinton Library.
I was so excited to go because I'd never been to either place!

Here's B in front of the Capitol... squinting in the bright sun!
 The Capitol is absolutely beautiful. Loved the rotunda.
 They were beginning to decorate for Christmas, which made it even better!

 My personal favorite was the exact replica of the Oval office. I wish I could've gone in and just sat and enjoyed it for a long while. It was gorgeous and I loved hearing about some of the more interesting items in the room.


This was B's favorite exhibit. It was a lego exhibit. The artist makes amazing art out of thousands and thousands of legos. It was incredible! This is just one of the many pieces.


The Clinton Library was wonderful. I enjoyed it so much. I could easily spend an entire day there looking over every single thing. I can't wait to go back again someday!

We had a great day! I carpooled down with 5 other moms, of which each of their sons are B's BFFs, so it was especially fun! I had a group of 4 boys to walk around with all day and we had fun. Braden loves to have me around and took care of me all day; making sure I was right there with him and keeping up with them. He even invited me to eat lunch with him and his buddies and gave me his spot on the picnic blanket and sat in the grass instead. What a wonderful young man, if I may say so myself :)
I can't believe this is his last year in Elementary School! I'm glad we are doing lots of fun stuff and enjoying it to the fullest!
