Movie, Liger, Garbage, Kenpo

These are the days...

(((Movie Making)))

Here's the movie we made with our neighborhood friends. John did a great job. The kids can't get enough of it and it was so much fun to get together with (most) everyone who was in the movie and watch the smiles on all their faces and hear their laughter as we watched it together for the first time.

(((Museum)))

We visited the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum and found the variety of animals to be amazing! Here were some of our favorites:

Tyra was most excited about the wolves.

Ethan was most excited about the Liger.

Cedric was most excited about the Rhinocerous...and later a mini model train he saw.



(((Earth Day)))

For Earth Day we decided to pick up garbage along the Jordan River. There was SO much junk to pick up. Mostly garbage like beer bottles, cigarrette boxes, or even tobacco containers. We learned some neat lessons that day about taking care of our bodies and the earth.



We picked up 5 grocery bags of filthy garbage! It felt so good and the place looked much better after we'd gone through it.

(((Greece)))

We're still learning about Ancient Greece and this week we focused on the Greek myths. Hercules was our favorite. It nice to hear the real myth instead of knowing the Disnsey version and it opens up great conversations.

(((Japanese Festival)))

We enjoyed the Japanese culture immensley...


we watched Kenpo sword practices,



and saw beautiful Japanese flower arrangements.

(((EXTRA)))

Warm days are the best. The kids were surprised with a beautiful tray of food while they were busy playing outside.
