Zoo 2







































I think I've probably blogged about the zoo a dozen times, not just once. We had a beautiful fall day and took the kids to the zoo. In the fall, you never know when the good weather will end and the endless rain will begin here, so any nice weather needs to be taken advantage of!

This zoo has a delphinarium, with show, so we got the extra tickets to the show. We got a little wet (exciting for Nils, tragic for Jay), but it was a great performance by the dolphins.

Last of all we have two photos of Nils: one as a clone trooper (in his own self-made costume, note the "armor" on his arms and head) and in his birthday crown on the 2nd.

Portfolio Day, Chez S, Vivaldi





Jay's school had Portfolio Day for the parents. Basically, the parents are invited into the classroom for about half an hour and the children take them on a tour of their work. You can see Caleb, Jay's friend, in the background here. He is half Asian and has the same haircut as Jay. He also is an Adidas freak, so I wonder if people mix the two of them up.

Here we have Nils eating his lunch in his "restaurant-" he doesn't want to eat with me at the table anymore! At least he's eating....

We took the boys to see a Kinderkonzert of Vivaldi at the symphony hall. It was done really well. Each season was a prince, trying to woo a princess with his music. Afterward, we went to a restaurant and enjoyed a coffee while the kids played.
