Family Schooling Summary

This week we had Joy School, dance class, and practice worksheets from big sister's new workbook - First Grade Brain Quest.  I like this one because it includes a variety of subjects. Big Sister A has been quickly working her way through it.

This weekend we were excited to see some dear friends from France who were vacationing in NYC, but came down to meet us half way in between so we could spend the day together on Saturday. We met at Dutch Wonderland, an amusement park in Lancaster, PA.  It was the kids first time going to a real amusement park. The rides are mostly for little kids and so it was a perfect fit for them.

 Here we are with our French buddies on the little train ride around the park.

The cousins came for a few hours too. Here they are riding the tall bouncing frog ride.

Brother M was a bit uncertain about this ride at first:

They had a cool animated dinosaur exhibit where they moved and make noises. Baby S was convinced that he was in real danger.




It rained on and off during the afternoon and we ate lunch indoors, had a covered boat ride, a monorail ride, and "Princess Storytime" during that part. Here is brother M watching out for S on the boat ride.

We watched a performance of "The Frog Prince" with talented divers that was a little scary for me. Especially, when they jumped from the highest tower, about 3 stories up, into a 9 ft pool. Yikes!




Then we had a mini Christmas from the red Mustang sleigh of our French buddies and Rozenn playing Santa's elf. Even after a long day of fun times, she had the kids full and undivided attention.
It was so great to see them, but one day was too short and I was very homesick for France in the car ride home.
