Toledo Zoo

We love the zoo.  We spent the day with the Hawkins clan and really enjoyed the Memorial Weekend Saturday weather.  These kids are growing up way to fast and I love to look back at the polar bear picture to see how they are thriving.  We're sure to make this a lifelong tradition.

Root Beer Report

 Logan and Ryan worked to build a nice history of Root Beer.  They researched on the web and build a Keynote presentation on the ipad to share with the class.  Then they made some homemade rootbeer to share with the class.  Nicely done boys!

Mornings With Mom

We enjoyed our breakfast together at the school for Mornings with Mom sponsored by our awesome PTO.  As you can see, the doughnuts were scrumptious and the smiles were contagious.  Thank you to the volunteers who help build lasting and fun memories for the families of Addison Schools.

A Spring of Life

This is what we've been up to at the house.  Fishing and enjoying the views on the lake.

 The second graders witnessed the life cycles of some precious little chicks.  Their chirps were a treat for all.

Happy Birthday Grandma Hawkins! 89 Years.

 

We sure did enjoy the day with my Grandma for her 89th birthday!  My cousin Pam invited us out for a relaxing day with good eats and good company.  She was extra sweet to fill a couple of pinatas for her young cousins.  What a treat.  Happy Birthday to a sweet Grandma who raised an army:)

ASES-All Students Exercise Simultaneously

 Zach and Ryan playing on the field.  Not the best pic of Zack but I love the shot of Corrine in the background;)

 Tyler got the hang of the hula and hunted down his second grade friends to enjoy the day.

The kiddos had a fun time going down to the track and field for an afternoon of fun exercise.  The entire school was there to enjoy the sunshine and comraderie.

Kindergartner's Visit Binder Park Zoo

 Hoyt and Tyler feed the Giraffe big leaves of Romaine lettuce.  Mmmm.

 Sitting on Elephant tusks and wondering if they can be used as boomerangs.  Incidentally, according to Ryan's Guiness Book of World Records, a tusk of a Mammoth is still operational nearly 23,0000 years later:)

 Tyler with some silly shots.  Dad is a real trooper as he worked 3rd shift and stayed up all day to play at the zoo and later at baseball.

Blake is adorable in his spider painted face:)

Finally got Tyler to pose with Mom.
