Henry and Aida's Books

Henry and Aida wrote books at school called Bear Books. The entire school wrote the books and illustrated them. I didn't know they were doing this. Henry wrote a book about the Titanic. Since we went to the museum in Branson, he has gotten a lot of books about it at the library. His book was great! Aida wrote about Prissy. It is such a funny book. The books were judged by teachers in the school. Henry won a trophy for his!! I am so proud of both of them!

Aida' Field Trip

Aida's class took a field trip to Twin Springs Equestrian Center in Siloam Springs. I went with them as a chaperone. It was a fun trip. They got to learn about horse riding and horse care, etc. This is a picture of her class. She is so lucky to have had Mrs. Bowen! We will miss her! She has been a fantastic teacher!



Aida's class being silly!



This horse was so funny. His name was Frosty and he "smiled" at the kids.





The old man who owned this pony said he was "off in the head." He kept digging holes!




The kids read to the horses in the stables. It was sweet.





This horse was beautiful and we watched him jump over some hurdles. He used to be a race horse. His name is Chase.





Aida being Aida.





Watching the horse show.







Aida's best buddy at school is Haley. They sat together on the bus ride.

Nana and Papa

Nana and Papa watched the kids while we were in Phoenix. Daddy installed new kitchen tile while we were away! Here he is working away! Thanks Papa for new floor!!



This is a little sign Papa made to keep the kids off of this little tile triangle under the box.
