counting the week as Saturday to Thursday. Saturday night, we went to the party in the park thrown by Rocket's orthodontist. The doctor provides movies in the park throughout the summer and as part of the event, she is then allowed to host a party for all her current and former patients. Rocket talked to one of his scouting buddies and K got her arm painted. Of course, it got washed off later that evening when she took her shower.
Monday, we headed to the zoo. As we were walking in, the rains came in. Good thing I was looking at the weather and we packed our rain coats. We had a great time. I gave the kids the option to pick their favorite animal to see and we made sure to see those animals. Sis wanted to see the polar bears- they were sleeping, so no pictures. Rocket wanted to see the big cats (lion, tigers, jaguars, etc. We saw them, but they were in the dark (simulating night time in the cat house, so no pictures. I wanted to see Fiona (the baby hippo born Jan 2017). So as we walked, we saw the Rhinos
the bird house (escaping the pouring rain).
Fiona and her momma. Nose to tail. they were swimming in circles the entire time we watch them. usually to see Fiona you stand in a long line and there are people packed up against the windows. thanks to the rain, we walked right up to see them and we were not in anyone's way - well except for Sis who has no concept of taking turns and walked right in front of people taking pictures as she followed Fiona and Bibi as they swam. that girl needs to be more aware of people around her and what impact her actions have on others.
Rocket's arm span is as long as tiger!!!!
Sis is getting there.
Tuesday we went to the library to make things in the Maker Space. I made ornaments. Sis made some things for her family and some stickers and Rocket made a Neymar pendant on the 3D printer.
I made tacos in peppers that night for dinner. It was YUMMY. this is coming to our table on a regular basis now.
Wednesday, I took the kids to the pool for some swimming. We shared the pool with lots of retirees. Clearly we are one of the last schools to go back. The kids swam for 2 hours, with some jumping off the diving board included, I swam for a hour and then read my book by the pool.
so tired!!!
Today the kids started school. So 7 am pictures. the bus now comes 20 minutes earlier then previous years so it changes our schedule a bit. Rocket is off to his last year at his school and sis is starting 6th grade.
Tomorrow, we start having the kids next door over in the morning and 3 afternoons a week (not sure what days for the afternoon). it is going to be an adventure.
love and hugs,
Deb
