Tony's 1st school field trip

I had the pleasure to be one of the chaperones to accompany his class to the zoo. 

This was also his 1st school bus ride.  He said that he was a little nervous but excited.

There's his little faces on the left side.

Once we got there, the kids had to go on a scavenger hunt for animal characteristics and habitats.  I also bought the boys and Aliana a notebook for journaling the animals they saw.

After lunch they took a moment to journal.  Tony did so wonderful with at least one sentence, a picture and the title of the animal on each page.  I think he counted 11 entries. 

Aw, my little scholar taking the time to write about the eagle.

Thank you God for the world and animals you gave us to care for. 

Time with Aliana

This was just funny to me. 

Multi tasking momma.... I was cleaning green beans in the van, playing a "make a healthy meal" game with Aliana while picking up the boys from school. I'm glad I had enough cupholders for all the beans, lol!

Aliana is doing so well in school. Her coloring has improved dramatically, math is in the kinder level and she reads stories to me. 

Gifts from CO

Thank you Meme and Papa Deno for the cool surprise gifts. The boys love the Legos and Aliana loves her two dolls. The jewelry is pretty too!

Princess tea party

She was inspired to have her own tea party at home. Her plate is full if healthy goodies! 

 

It's real decaf honey vanilla hot tea. 

Cheers to you with her ham and cheese roll up. 

Noni Fun

While Mark and I were in Boston, Noni came to take care of the kids. She was very busy! 

They were making welcome home cards for us. 

I missed these little rascals so much!

Arriving to Boston

These are some the aerial photos that I took as we came into Boston Airport. Beautiful!

 

After dropping our stuff off at the hotel room and unpacking, we toured alittle together and got lunch at No Name Restaurant.  We had broth calm chowder, shrimp and scallops.  Really good over looking the water.

 

Can you find Mark?

He had to handle some ugly business at work and had to hide behind the building because it was so windy. 

 

Boston's World Trade Center. 

 

On each side there are different flags of the world. 

 

The Fish Peir.

On the outsides if the two buildings were water and down the middle is where people and vehicles are allowed.  We ate lunch here that over looked the water on the right side.

 

Congress Building 

 

Our view from our room...Boston's World Trade Center and the water.  I loved seeing the water!!!!
