We have been very busy lately

Its been crazy lately Samantha's life....

• Nick was home visiting and he left at the end of April.
• We visited my sister in law in New York this weekend. Went into the city to the American Girl Store.
• We went to a Buddhist temple to see the second biggest Buddha in the world. To walk the peaceful grounds and enjoy nature.
• I tested Samantha in reading and was so thrilled to find she is reading at the end of third grade level!
• Had Samantha's belated birthday party.
• Went to the Lafayette Durfee House and learned about how people lived in the colonial times and how Fall River played a roll in the revolutionary war. That was very interesting I didn't realized how much of a roll our city played in it...
• Went to the Mad scientist science night.
•  Went to the beach
• Went to the battleship
• playdates at the park
• first trip on a train (we took it into the city)

Well not all in this order. But its been a crazy time with the extra practices in Baton, keeping up her studies, starting swim class and all the fun times.  Here are some pictures of our busy time....

Field trip....

Today Nick took Samantha and I to Mystic Aquarium. It was so much fun.  Nick was impressed with what Sam knew about frogs and tadpoles.  They had a whole display on the Titanic. Something I haven't taught Samantha about yet so we had a crash course on what happened.  She loved touching a stingray.  Then going and seeing all the different creatures.  She was a little to scared to hold the crab.  I love field trips. Nick was funny he kept saying he picked this as our fun day together so it would be educational for Samantha.

A few schools were there on a field trip too. One group looked like they were kindergarteners.  Well just as we passed by then one little girl yelled to the teacher that the little boy on the side of her just kissed her. LOL it was funny hearing the teacher tell the kid to keep his lips to himself.  So glad I don't have to worry about this happening to Sam.
