This week... has been AWESOME!
It's been a week of field trips...
We went to the Aquarium again - but got to do a WHOLE lot more than last time.
We went to the Gardens at Thanksgiving Point!
And while we were there, we fed the koi fish, and found a frog and turtle!
(zoology in the gardens!)
We stopped at the glass blowing and stained glass workshops at Thanksgiving Point as well.
We saw stained glass that is being formed here in Utah that will be going into a new LDS Temple in Japan (Sapporo!). Satomi thought it was cool - even though she is not Mormon.
We went to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point as well.
They just got a big piece of plaster delivered with tons of fossils in it!
Lots of people were posing and taking pictures! We'll have to look for it in the news.
It was pretty cool to think about zoology in ancient times.
While at the aquarium, we learned that the lion fish is invasive!
Sometimes pretty can be dangerous.
We got to walk through the shark tank tunnel, too!
We took a field trip to the Airport!
It was time to take Satomi home, but we got to come and see what it was like to sign in, turn in luggage and watch Satomi go through security.
Myanna's tooth was hurting, so she went into the Dentist's to check to make sure it wasn't infected (aka abscessed).
It is so cool how they can take pictures of teeth by x-ray!
(They pulled my tooth. It wasn't infected. Just the tooth underneath was coming in and the top tooth didn't want to come out easily.)
Friday, we had a Field Day with other homeschoolers!
Games and treats before it rained!
Our baby kits are growing up!
They are starting to eat real food.
and even though they still drink the momma's milk...
they drink from the water bottles too!
We have A LOT of fun taming the rabbits so that if anyone wants a bunny, they're used to people already.
We know that Memorial Day is after school, but we had fun learning things while we were there too.
The firetrucks blew their sirens to wake up people to come to the Fireman's breakfast. So we went!
We talked with the firemen and police - and got to climb all over the firetrucks!
Then we went to a memorial program at the Santaquin Cemetery!
We met and shook hands with several veterans.
They talked about some of the things they went through during the wars of history.
We look forward to learning more about them in history.
And we know who we can talk to about them when we do!
We went to the spot where we found the headstone for a baby during the cemetery clean up.
Someone put flowers on it!
And to think... they wouldn't have been able to if we hadn't found it!
