A Field Trip

I am only 3.5 but my brother and sister are older and home-schooled. So I get to go on field trips with them. Two weeks ago we left our home at 8:45am. We stopped in Bow for a bathroom break and to pick up Papa.
We traveled to Weir's Beach where we parked next to a water slide that looked like lots of fun. I wasn't allowed to go in. We ran to a gate where some men searched all of our bags and made us throw away our apples and water bottles.
Then we went through the gate and stood around in a crowd for 3.5 hours waiting for someone to come speak.
I got tired so I laid down and took a nap using a man's boot as a pillow. My baby brother took a nap too! While we slept my older brother met the mother of Senator McCain’s campaign manager, and a man who fought in a famous battle in Vietnam. Mel Gibson starred in a movie about it, “We Were Brothers.”
Finally the woman everyone was waiting for arrived, Governor Sarah Palin. People cheered real loudly for her. My brother and sister got to meet her. I didn't because I was busy sitting on the ground eating the rest of the cookies in mom's backpack.
At 4:00pm, when it was finally over, we got to play at the park. I think that was the best thing I did all day!
I brought home a campaign pin my Papa bought for me.
