Best Girl Friends...

Falcon Fitness

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we're making it a goal to get our bums out of bed extra early and head up to the track for Falcon Fitness - where we walk with your classmates round & round and earn you points toward your school fitness goals. Today was our first go at it and it was lots of fun. Especially since we celebrated with hot chocolate!

My goodness..

You're growing up much too fast! Kindergarten is treating you well. You seem to enjoy it very much and have yet to receive any discipline. No "flipping cards" for you! You've earned a prize at the conclusion of every week.

And reportedly, yesterday, you stopped what you were doing and rushed over to hold open a door for someone with their arms full. This earned a chain link for your "acts of kindness" chain that's being built in class. I'm ever so proud of you!

Worlds of Fun

Around came the annual Applebee's employee visit to World's of Fun. Wearing really flat flip-flops, we found ourselves terribly surprised that you were just a "finger's width" shy of being eligible for all the really major roller coasters! (thank gosh, for those fip-flops, Mama says!) You were, however, able to ride on many rides that you weren't qualified for last year - but we didn't try to encourage any more attempts at the monster coasters, although I'm sure you could have passed had you stood "tall!"





You're quite a thrill seeker, and as per usual.. Worlds of Fun was worlds of fun!

Chasing Balloons

Tonight, we caught the sound of a hot air balloon in the distance and soon saw it floating over our backyard. Excited, we climbed in the Jeep determined to follow it to it's landing. We envisioned a nice long drive tracking the floating balloon, but actually found it landing three blocks away from the house. We had so much fun watching it land, and the process for taking the balloon down to a teensy-tiny little ball. We've all decided this is on the To-Do list. We must ride one!

Irish Fest

We did the Irish Fest again this year and as per usual, we ended it with the fountains. Enough said! GrEaT time!
