Well we are in full swing of summer. Vivian is out of school and we started up swim classes in the morning, leaving afternoons for jungle fun. We started off the week with some fun new animal shirts and cute new animal bags to carry their swimsuits and spare underwear to the Y. We were able to make it through the grocery store accident free so that was a celebration! We enjoyed lunch on our animal plates and some special books from the library. Over the next few days we did lots of stickers and stencils of animals, we played animal doctor, and watched some fun jungle movies. One other fun thing I wanted to try with Vivian turned out to be interesting. I had Vivian pick an animal of the day and we looked it up in our animal encyclopedia and learned as much as we could at least one new fact. Thank you Avalon for that birthday treat! We learned giraffes have as many bones in their necks as humans just longer. Hippos have hardly any hair on their bodies. Pandas have to eat 16 hours a day to sustain themselves on their diet of bamboo. Blue macaws make difficult pets because of their loud noises and high maintenance personalities. Cheetah's are the fastest animal on earth. Later in the week we had some visitors for some fun and I took the kids to the zoo. That was great until I realized why I don't go on half price day in the summer! That was probably our last visit there until fall. Daddy gave us a treat- a dinner at 3 parrots which the kids loved and mommy did too! Saturday was probably the highlight of the week for the kids. We went to see "Madagascar 3" and all I can say is I loved the "Afro-circus, afro-circus, polka dot, polka dot, afro-circus!" It will get stuck in your head too! Enjoy the pics.
