We had a really great spring break. It was so nice to have so much time with Crichton. They really spend so much time in school. Crichton's teacher doesn't like teaching first grade. She really wanted to be a Vice Principle or a 6th grade teacher, but got stuck in 1st grade. Well. Sucks to her. Crichton doesn't need a teacher anyway. I don't think they've taught him much he didn't know already, besides useful info like Johnny Appleseed and Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr. Oh, and yesterday on the way to church, "My friend Andy wants to marry a boy. He's gay." School is so very useful.We spent one day at the Airplane Museum. My kids love it there, running around those huge machines.
Crichton has his homemade superhero shirt on. SC=Super Cri. Canon brought his light sabre.
Here's a nuclear bomb. The first time we came, I felt weird about these things, the pacifist, the humanist, the environmentalist inside kind of freaked out. They were in denial that these things exist and how they are used.
Here's Cri in the ejection seat.We spent an evening at the park. Sagan got her first swing rides:
She seemed to like it pretty well. Check out her sharp little teeth. It's about time to wean that thing!
The boys went down the slide about a million times.We forgot to bring any kind of toys, but the boys played pretend baseball until a real team showed up and took over the field.
They had some rocks and stuff that made a pretty great backdrop for some cute pictures:
Thursday we went to the Dinosaur Park in Odgen - it's a fabulous brilliant place! I want everyone to go there!
Here's a little animatronics scene that Canon is too sacred to go in.
Cheesy grin!Ok. That's what I've got for you thus far. I failed to take ANY Easter pictures while the kids were dressed up all fancy ... and not ... well, chocolate and fancy clothes are not friends. So, I plan on washing all their duds and taking fake-make-up Easter pictures. I pretty much suck at all celebration type activities.
5 Brilliant Bits of Inspiration:
I wish the Ogden Dino place were closer... and the Treehouse kids museum place...
Sigh. Oh well. One day.
Looks like you guys had fun!
Sounds like you had a lot of fun. Sorry about your Dad and missing him.
Crichton sounds like he would do well in a Montessori setting....do any of your public schools offer it as a charter school option? I ask because we are sending Olivia to Montessori next year for preschool because it is half the cost of what the crappy public school charges and it seems far far more educational (and it is child-centered/child directed). Just thought I would mention it, since you had earlier mentioned that the teacher so readily dismissed testing Crichton for the gifted program (which angered my blood!)
Anyway, happy easter!
I love the Star Wars shirt.
We've never been the Air Force Base or the Dino place. I've been meaning to go the the Dino place..maybe one day.
Cute kids.
Ummm, can I go there? I think... THE KIDS would think it was cool... yeah, that's the ticket.
Did I type that last part out loud?
Hey Dan, if you guys ever come out to Utah, y'all can stay in Sagan's room and I'll give you the grand tours of our favorite places. That goes for all of you.
Utah does not disappoint!
