This past week "A" celebrated his 12th birthday. "H" had the good fortune of being chosen to take them on a hike - at the birthday boy's request. I think they had a lot of fun - but we did notice that boys who appear to be tough are not always so.... Here's a few shots of them on the trail & eating ice cream cake to celebrate.
Every two years Gr. 5/6 does a unit study on flight. At the end of this unit they get to go on a field trip to The Seattle Flight Museum. I volunteered to drive - it was a long drive & I'm not sure that museums are the best choice for that age group - just saying... I thought it was very interesting - at one point "A" asked me why I had to read everything. :)
This little guy is growing like crazy! During the one sunny day we've had in the last few weeks we ate dinner on the front porch just so we could get as much sun out of the day as possible. "V" hadn't seen much of the sun in his lifetime so we needed to get out the sunglasses & hat.
