Spring Fling 2015

The kids' school does a "Spring Fling" event around Easter time.  There is a presentation where the kids sing songs they've been practicing throughout the year (unfortunately, since we don't do school on Fridays, they miss that singing class and don't know all the songs and moves, but they seem to enjoy it anyway).  Then they get to go outside with bags they've decorated and hunt for eggs that they colored throughout the week.  They're limited to three eggs each and I was very proud when Daniel found a fourth egg and proceeded to point it out to a classmate who hadn't gotten his allotment yet.  And equally proud when Caroline traded her green egg to a classmate who was on the verge of a meltdown because she hadn't gotten her favorite color.  Then it was time for juice and cookies!

Caroline decided to get all dressed up in her hand-me-down Hello Kitty dress

Max (and Daniel) opted for superheroes - big surprise!

Lemos Farm

The kids were invited to two different birthday parties at Lemos Farm in Half Moon Bay.   This is a fun farm set-up with pony rides, a petting zoo, hay rides and a little "train".  There are also bouncy houses and a play structure.

Daniel was a little wary of the ponies at first, but eventually they all warmed up to all aspects of the farm.

Caroline (trust me, she was happy)

They went back again in mid-March for Jasmine's party.  It was a bit colder out, but the kids knew their way around now and knew exactly where they wanted to go first - the hay ride!

There are times I'd like to put this sign up on my classroom...

The goats were learning how to fight, which the boys thought was awesome.


Daniel could not get over the baby goat standing on the Mama

More fighting
