School Fun 1st grade

I don't know why the picture is flipped......

Monterey Bay

T's class went on a feild trip. I volunteered as a chaperone because the thought of her going that far away by herself with her class wooried me a bit She is only in first grade. Monterey is 4 hours one way for us. The trip turned out soomthly. There was a part of the trip where they particpated in a lab on the site since they were part of a school. It was given in spanish. It was fun to see my girl participate in spanish.

Celebrated the New Year Chinese

Three months into the year and I am still trying to catch up. My parents were down and we celebrated Chinese style. We had hats and robes, food from the Hong Kong, and ended the night watching a fascinating show on Netflix about a Chinese dancer who came to the states to dance.....the men went to the other Thompson's and watched sports. Happy New Year's and warm wishes.

He wanted luggage and happily we were able to use it on a trip to Magic Mountain. It was great- no crowds, nice weather. I had not been since HS.....

Let's Make a Trip of It!

...trying to catch up. My wonderful parents came to visit! We went to S. California to visit family and decided to make a trip of it and stopped to see some sites along the way!

T. earned this trip.

T. stopped sucking her thumb this summer which is a huge answer to prayer. We had promised her a trip to Disneyland. We decided to go during Dec. to see the lights and watch it snow. We thought he had chosen the perfect week.......crowded.
