Open House

Isabella had her Open House this week.  Wow, what at treat it was to see her so proud of the projects and progress she has made this year in preschool.  It was especially fun for me as I was the parent rather than the teacher.  Isabella was tickled to have the whole family at school and gave us a guided tour of room.  Here are a few pictures from the event:

Each week a new bible story was taught; catch the eyelashes on the big fish?

She also took home memory, counting, shapes and colors books.  

We took a quick peek into a Kindergarten Prep room too...
looks like next year will focus on reading, writing, and math!

After cookies and lemonade we happily piled in the car and chatted about all the fun we had.

Santa Ana Zoo Visit

We had been home for three straight days in a row and had a bit of "cabin fever"so after a quick breakfast we headed out to Santa Ana Zoo.  While the Zoo is fairly small, comprised mostly of monkeys  (54 today's count) it is perfect for toddlers and preschool aged kids. The trio loved watching the turtles wade and the zoo keepers feeding the ring tailed lemurs.  For me the easy pace, small crowds and beautiful foliage created a peaceful setting.  Two hours passed by quickly and the littles had a great time.  Oh, and the weather (June gloom) couldn't have been more ideal. Hope you enjoy the photos.


Let the adventure begin!
