Restaurant Day

For the past couple months our class has been learning about food, markets, grocery stores, and farms. It all culminated last week in Restaurant Day!

Our class hosted all of the parents in our classroom restaurant. Every student had a restaurant role: Chef, Pastry Chef, Host, Manager, Servers, and Bussers.

Our menu was selected by the class:

Appetizer: Tomato Soup
Main: Grilled Cheese
Dessert: Chocolate cake

It is no exaggeration to say that I was more excited about this event than Christmas or my birthday. 

Working hard!

Happy customers with their server.

Pool

Our friend from across the street hosted her 7th birthday at a pool that was perfect height for kids!

It was so much fun and we're excited to go back since it was only about 10 minutes away from home!

Parade

We made our annual trip over to the St. Patrick's Day parade last Saturday and even met up with some folks we knew!

Not really trying to do bunny ears, but whatever, it's almost Easter!

Our picks

John's got a chance.

Tess was excited that there was a Buffalo and Montana.

Safe!

We had some time to run around the Regis gym on Tuesday evening. Spring sports are clearly on John's mind as he kept running then sliding on his belly while yelling, "Safe!"

Bike train

We've done this before, but not captured pictures.

Prep work. Five tires ready to go!

There's a little brother smiling in the trailer.

Off we go!

p.s. Throughout the evening John kept saying, "Dad, the bike ride was so much fun!"

 

Last weekend

Our regular photographer was in California for Grandpa Les' 100th birthday last weekend so we're a little short on photos this week.

I was off school last Friday, so Mom coordinated a get-together with friends from school!
 

Warm enough for short sleeves on the porch!
