Okay, Hershey Park is just one of our Summer adventures. They'll be more pictures coming, but I couldn't wait to post this one. The expressions are priceless! Can you tell who's truly enjoying the ride, and who might be a bit apprehensive? :)
We all had a fabulous school year and now officially have a 4th grader and 7th grader in the family! The end of the year included an academic awards ceremony and a garden planting, pictured below. Dad worked many hard hours building a garden, which the kids are now maintaining beautifully as their Summer project.
The storm began on February 5th, with a second round of snow on the 9th. Nearly 4 ft. of snow fell on us in a one week period, and we were officially buried! In fact, it's still white out there and our schools remain closed. The kids have enjoyed sledding and building forts, and we've all had plenty of opportunity to shovel and shovel some more....
Guess who's third grade class did a "wax museum" project? They researched an influential person, wrote a speech, assembled costumes and props (with family help) and then performed their wax museum. Visitors to the museum pressed a star-shaped button on the wax figure, and the figure came to life and shared their biography. It was a learning experience not only for the students who participated as wax figures, but also their families and other visitors.
