The Toothpaste Millionaire

Emma-Rae's reading class put on a play called The Toothpaste Millionaire one of the last days of school, the kids played multiple parts & didn't have much rehearsal time but we were sure proud of them!








Kindergarten Zoo Trip & Class Picnic

John-Robert's Kindergarten trip to the Memphis Zoo & their class picnic. They had a wonderful time of course & I must give photo credit to John-Robert for ALL the pictures of animals & feet!

The grizzlies were SUPER hot that day, but we enjoyed the Teton Trek exhibit.



John-Rob's feet...who knows why



Bored wolf, the wolves always look bored...or they pace the enclosure.

Sea Lion Show...one of his favorites, I think this lovely lady is named Chloe.

Kids hanging out at the original entrance to the Zoo...things have sure changed!
John-Rob and one of his teachers...Mrs. West!
John-Rob & Caleb, relaxing & eating a bite of lunch at the picnic
John-Rob & friends playing bag-o while all of the other kids are eating...he probably took one whole bite of his food that day

Fossil Hunting at Coon Creek

Mother's Day weekend the kids & I went fossil hunting at the Coon Creek Science Center. We had an awesome time and found TONS of fossils. The site contains Upper Cretaceous marine shells & vertebrate remains from 70 million years ago!

The kids @ the Orientation Center...ready to find some fossils!
Patiently removing a fossil from the bulk of the matrix
