Brown's Ferry Park field trip

One of the (many) amazing things about Aubrey's kindergarten class this year is all of the field trips they have gone on.  Last week, I got to play hooky from my fifth graders, and join the kinders on their last trip...a scientific pond study at Brown's Ferry Park.  :)

They got to check the temperature of the air and the soil, build terrariums, go on a plant hunt, catch insects, go birdwatching, and observe tadpoles.  Each station was manned by a group of fifth graders who did an awesome job teaching the kinders. What a fun way it was to spend a beautiful, sunny day!

Happy 60th Birthday, Mom!

Saturday night, we celebrated a major milestone.....   Mom turned  60!  All of the "grown ups" in the family went out for an amazing dinner at Brazil Grill, and enjoyed amazing food, lots of laughs, stories, and poking fun at the birthday girl.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY to a terrific mom, grandma, mother-in-law, and friend.  We love you!
