larks
Carefree fun times
Larks are small songbirds known for their melodious singing, especially during flight.
The skylark's dawn song gives us the expression "up with the lark" for early rising.
A lark is also a carefree adventure or bit of mischief undertaken for fun: We drove to the coast on a lark.
To lark about is to play or fool around.
