Weekend fun

We've had a fun weekend. Yesterday we took the kids to a new Nature Center here in central Arkansas. R & A had fun running around looking at all the animal displays, including a bear in a tree, a giant snapping turtle, a snake, eagles and ducks. They also had several giant tanks of live fish. Rhett enjoyed the 12 minute nature video, but Alexee got a little bored during that.

Lane made my picture by my high school mascot, the bobcat.
R & A by the big turtle.
Looking at the fish. No one even fell in!
Then L & R rode the trolley around downtown. A & C were tired and hot, so I took them to the car and waited. We waved at the trolley as it went by.
This morning we had another great sermon from the book of Daniel. Lane took my picture with Crosby on our last day in the newborn care room. Next week is promotion Sunday for all the kids, so we decided it would be a good time to move Crosby to the nursery. :( I will miss being with him in the newborn room, but I am also looking forward to going back to the worship center on Sunday mornings.

This evening R's school had a drop-off time for school supplies. It was fun to see his classroom and visit with his teacher again. Once again, he decided to be shy when she spoke to him. He talks NONSTOP all day every day, then he won't say a word to her!? I guess that will probably change after the first day or two of class. Do they still have the line item "refrains from unnecessary talking" on report cards these days?

A fun safari themed room:

R's assigned seat is right below the huge monkey's feet. He liked the loft area where he and Alexee are climbing.

Yes, I was the nerdy Mom who asked the teacher to have her picture made with us. I don't think R is old enough to be embarrassed by this yet. If he's nice, maybe I won't do this to him when he's going into Jr. High.

Alexee made herself right at home and had fun exploring the classroom. She'd love it if she could just go to school with her brother.
