Roots & Shoots: Dam Tour

Some of the parents at Anna's old pre-school started a civic group for all the graduating students as a way for the kids to keep in contact. Today was the first time we went on an outing with the group (it was the groups second outing). We went on a picnic and a tour of Bonneville Dam.

Apres Ballet

Anna was an official ballet student on Saturday! She wore her new pink sweatsuit and cute little bun all day after the class.



Costco is so much more fun to visit with Nana in an apres ballet outfit ... and it is even better when she buys you a huge box of princess high heel shoes.

Thursday Art Project

On Thursday this school year Anna and Henry are going to have an art play date before story time. This week they decorated aliens and rocket ships. Anna spent most of her time working on coloring one red alien while Henry and Sam were a assembly line of decorating.





Henry's favorite one.

Testing Out The Rain Gear

or I could call this the rainy day zucchini bread delivery service.

Pre-K

Today was Anna's first day at her new school. She was so excited and ran in and join the class ... it was a great first day start off.



We compromised on her first day of school outfit. I wanted her to wear a skirt or something girlish and she "wants to look like a cowgirl!"

Goggles

State Fair

We went to the state fair on Saturday. Really nothing could be better then an afternoon of eating corn dogs, looking at draft horses, petting pigs, a six dollar pony ride, meeting Smokey the Bear, watching cows get judged on how full the hind ends are, and learning that our pet walking sticks are a "forbidden, invasive, insect ... who are NOT allowed in Oregon" and all the ways we must destroy them.
