Ezra’s class painted habitats & dressed up like the animal of their choosing, they did research on their animal and then presented 3 facts to visitors to the 2nd grade zoo:)

We ordered some Painted Lady butterflies, it’s pretty cool to watch the progression from caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly-boy do we have a creative God

Soccer

A bike ride, I was hoping for maybe 4/5 miles but they were already asking to turn around after 1!  We stopped at all the “workout” activities along the way-it was the slowest 3 mile bike ever!  But, it was fun:)

A little playground time after the grueling bike ride;)

So I look out in my front yard and see this . . .

I think to myself that it was up last night when I came home so Kelly must have tied it for them and think it’s sturdy enough, I give him a call and he walked me through all the same concerns I had — rope not tied tight enough, bucket not strong enough branch breaking . . . but because I’m such a fun mom, and because we really like it when the kids create, we decide that even if they fall, it’s not too far.

Boy did they LOVE it . . .

Ezra’s ride was not quite as fun, Tobin couldn’t get him going as fast

Side note:  when Kelly came home and saw the twisting, spinning, & swinging going on, he was a bit more concerned.  Apparently, they got bored with just swinging like they were doing the night before with Kelly home:)  No one was hurt and the swing held up.  Oh, and as it turns out, Tobin tied the knots, according to Ezra, Tobin has to because he is way better at knot tying;), Kelly is proud!

So, this is back when school was actually still in session . . .

Every time we go, we discover something new, this time it was turning the rail car at the round house . . .

Happy Birthday Logan!
