Full of fun,
friends
play
And creativity.
Xury's spent hours and hours creating works of art with sidewalk chalk all over the patio, walls and windows, even (or especially) in the rain.
While we were bringing in groceries the other day, she sat on the walk and made some Moana inspired installation art. If you've seen the movie, this is Te Fiti.
Aravis has been taking lots of pictures like these awesome ones of coral at the beach.
The girls attend a homeschool gymnastics class a few days a week that they love. Aravis likes to push herself to master new skills like her back tuck and aerial, while Xury mostly likes getting to see all her friends.
We've also had some fun field trips. We got a chance to go back to the Kennedy Space Center. Dominick and Aravis weren't interested in going this year, so it was just a very excited Xury and I.
Her favorite part is playing in the rocket garden, pretending to be an astronaut.
Last year, Xury wasn't old enough to attend the class so she was very excited to participate this year. They made a robotic arm from cups, paper clips and cardboard.
We also visited a water treatment plant and learned all about what happens to the water before it gets to our houses.
The acid room
The control room
We learned about insects and went on a bug hunt to catch some bugs.
For some reason, the bugs, who usually seem to be everywhere, were pretty reclusive that day but we did manage to catch a few.
Then we got to see the bugs we caught under the microscope. It was pretty amazing to see them so close up.
They put this guy in the freezer for a couple minutes to keep him still. Even so, he was a little intimidating. Xury was sure he was going to escape.
We got to see and feel an elephant tooth
And elephant poop (not the real thing!) Elephant poop is the heaviest poop and looks, not surprisingly, a lot like elephant food.
So while our days and weeks have been full, it's the best kind of full. We've been busy learning, playing and just generally enjoying life.
