Singapore Airforce Museum

Another feild trip we went on which was really cool! Yes, we have been taking alot of feild trips lately. I figured, since I only have a few weeks left of teaching the boys before they go to ICS, I might as well have lots of fun with them! So, we take 1-2 feild trips a week for this month. God has blessed us mightly.

Singapore Children's Garden

Last week we went for a felid trip with the Butz's, who homeschool also, to the brand new Chidren's Garden in Singapore. It was really quite nice and the kids had a blast. There were a few places that weren't finished, like a place we could plant flowers, and dye plants. There was a huge tree house made in the middle of a Banyan tree which the boys loved. Their other favorite part was the watering wells. Because the weather is unbelievably hot lately, they stayed in this spot the longest and ended up soaking wet.

International Night

Ryan's school holds a dinner annually to celebrate all the nationalities involved. I think there are 16 contries currently, with a total of just over 300 students. Each country represented put on a specail show or talent. The Korean drums were fascinating, the boys favorite! It was sper cute to see the kindergarteners sing a song in Mandarin while trying to hold up the coordinating signs with Chinese writing. The picture of the boys is Ryan and his new best friend at school, Sok Joon.
This is what I call a real sinus problem! I am not sure why they find it so fascinating to climb up in the nose and sit there but they do. Boys will be boys I guess. This nose is in the Science Center, in the Human Body section. We visited last week while we were trying to0 decide if we wanted to start studying the human body or the animal kingdom for science. After all the hype with the nose, they chose the animal kingdom. Go figure.

Ryan talking to Beca

They may be worlds apart but they remain the best of friends. What a special blessing!

Two wheelin' it

Ethan's learning to ride a two wheeler like his brothers and doing excellent! He has picked it up in less than a month. He can ride on his own now, but has trouble starting, and going over anything but smooth terrain. Give it time and he will be going down the hills like the bigs boys I'm sure.
Today we rode across the bridge to the castle playground to celebrate with him. If you look hard, in the 2nd picture it's the red blob off in the distnace next to the stadium. He did quite well!

Daddy's little girl

There really are no words to describe these few pictures. It's special in many ways.
