catching up on a busy weekend- school starts tomorrow

lets got through the birthday/back to school mini vacation in reverse order. 

Monday, 18Aug2014: the Aquarium.  We headed out with BB and picked up Mariposa, the exchange student from 5 years ago.  It was nice to see her and put to rest the demons from the past. 

We headed down to see the aquarium and have a great time.

 

The aquarium has made quite a few changes since we were there.  lots more sharks, like these cuties.

some turtles (tortugas) for my boy to play one and have everyone pose on.

Mariposa and Bug

Bug and BB

the boys have a great time together, I think this is going to be a fun year.

Measuring up to Mighty Mike- about 4.5 feet

BB is just over 5 feet.  Could Bug end up being taller than BB?  Only time will tell.

Oh no, there is an alligator skeleton on my head!

Bug might even end up being taller than Mariposa.

the frog princes.  One is very tired.

touching tortoises (turtles that only live on dry land)

Jellies!!!!

Denver, the turtle.  My favorite part of the Aquarium

sill boys

my little flock.

 We had lunch at Dewey's pizza (a tradition) and then took Mariposa home.  The boys started working on a puzzle.

Saturday, we had Bug's kid party.  We went Glow-blowing. Unfortunately, BB could not join us as he had orientation for the hosting group he is here with for the year.  But that did not dampen the party once we got started.

The gang, N, Hermano, A, C (partially hidden), P, L and Bug.

Sunday, we had "meet the teacher" at school and afterwards, I took the boys swimming.

 

School starts tomorrow, 19Aug2014 for Bug.  BB starts next week.  It is going to be an adventure this year.

 

Love and hugs,
