the old market with Rachael

While Rachael was here we went downtown to the old market. We bought flowers and enjoyed scooters smoothies together! It was just great! :)

At the flower shop....

'flowers make people happy!' Amen to that!!

Zinnas

Gerber daisies

For lunch we went to el ranchito.
Notice: the flowers go everywhere with me :)

This is a beautiful apartment building, I really wanted to go to the 10th floor where there is a ballroom. But we didn't have a pass. :(

a trip to the zoo

This week we went to zoo with dad!

The roses in the garden of the senses were in full bloom! They looked and smelled fantastic.

Look! My nail polish matched the rose. :)

While we were there we saw the new Madagascar exhibit, the Lemurs were very funny to watch.

They were definitely fearless...

Twinkle, Twinkle little star

Yesterday we went on a field trip to hear the Omaha Symphony play at a school. They had all the children sing Twinkle, Twinkle little star. I thought it was the cutest thing ever to hear the little voices all singing together. :) I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

bowling

This week I went bowling with some of my friends. We had a lot of fun together! The bowling alley let us tour the back where all the machinery is. :) It was very cool. Elliot did very well, he got two strikes and one spare.

Walk through Bethlehem

This week we went to "walk through Bethlehem" at Brookside church. Elliot really enjoyed going, from the past years we have gone, he has saved up 25 coins (the money used to buy things in the city). So, he was very excited to go and spend his money! Elliot and I both made a bread, and because we were the first group there we did not have to wait in line to make it either. :) Enjoy the pictures, (I'll be adding more later).

The Nutcarcker

Today we went to the one hour version of the nutcracker. It was a lot of fun to see our friends there and be in the beautiful orpheum, and enjoy pizza hut afterward. I don't have any pictures of the performance, because you are not suppose to take any. Bummer. Anyways, if any of you ever have a chance to go see the nutcracker please go, they do a very good job. Have a nice day!

shoe box party

Everyone with their shoe boxes!

How cute they're matching! :)

My shoebox for a 2-4 year old.

This week was our shoebox party with our home school group! We all get together and bring shoe boxes that we packed for Samaritans purse, and a food dish from a different country. Samaritans purse is a ministry who collects shoe boxes filled with toys and other needed items for children around the world that do not know about the love of Christ for them and they each are given a shoebox as a Christmas gift, good stuff. Thank you Mrs. Rothfuss and Mrs. Vogltanz for planning the shoe box party!

The apple orchard

This week we went on a field trip with our home school group, to Ditmars apple orchard. We went through a corn maze and rode the tractor up to the apple trees to pick apples. I'm very glad that we went.

Isn't this a funny picture, it looks like we are flying. :)

Visiting a Honey Farm

Recently we went to a Honey Farm with our home school group. We experienced how the honey is taken from the honey comb and spun out in the Extractor. We also saw the filtered honey pouring into a 55 gallon bucket. Afterward we enjoyed lunch together out on the lawn. Thank you Mrs. Kolar for organizing the field trip!

Field trip to Millard lumber

Mom planned a field trip to Millard lumber last month, it was very educational and enjoyable. Millard lumbers warehouse is 22 football fields in size, it is the biggest lumberyard in North America. We toured the lumberyard and the retail store, then we watched a video about forestry and how trees are harvested for lumber.
