Christmas at the Zoo - Dec 14th

Tonight we all went to Christmas at the Zoo. It was really cool to see the zoo all lit up. Our favorite by far was watching the Dolphin show from the underwater dome. Watching the power they have to get up out of the water, then watching them come crashing back towards you is just amazing. We also enjoyed watching the lights set to music in the water park, that was pretty cool. We also got to watch the bear having a scratch fest, the eel's swimming everywhere, the tiger trying it's best to hide from all the lights, the red panda trying to hide in a tree that had lost all of it's leaves, touch the dog sharks and actually see the snakes moving. Not a bad night at all!

Sydney's school Christmas party - Dec.14

This afternoon I got to attend and help at Sydney's Christmas party for her class. She got to decorate and eat a gingerbread man cookie, do a seek and find paper, and make a reindeer craft out of a flower pot. She seemed to have fun and I had fun helping her class and watching her with her class.

State House Field Trip - Dec.14

This morning I went on a field trip to the State House with Jared and the rest of the 4th graders at his school. The kids were pretty well behaved. They got the opportunity to sit in the gallery for the House of Representatives, sit in the Senators seats in the Senate, sit in the gallery at the Court of Appeals and learn all about when and how the State House was built. It was a pretty cool trip!
