Fun Times

This week has had some very fun things. Monday started off on a good note because Claire was chosen as the Character Kid for her class. This is a big honor at Baker to be chosen for this. Each week one kid from each class is chosen. Their pictures are on the board in the hallway and their names are announced on Baker Broadcast. She was so thrilled, and we were so proud!

On Thursday, Brock and 97 other kindergartners and most of their parents went to the zoo. The zoo was fun, but I have never been that much of a zoo lover. Although, LR zoo must be given major credit, because even in the last two years that have made some amazing changes. The habitats look so much more natural and pleasant for the animals. The bears are still a little cramped, but I don't really want them having an opportunity to get out either. Anyway, the kids enjoyed it, especially loved it when the Rhino peed while we were watching. It looked more like a water hose to be quite honest. Here are a few snapshots from the zoo and riding the bus (one of his first times to ride!).

When we left the zoo, one of the kindergarten teachers (Reid's teacher) had arranged for us to go to War Memorial Stadium to eat our lunch. This was sooooo much fun! The kids ate their lunch and then were allowed to get on the field and play for what seemed like hours. It was really neat for the kids (and the big kids too). I had taken Brock to his 1st Razorback game a few weeks ago, so he was so excited to be on the field where DJ had played. He and Reid ran their little legs off. I never thought that Brock would have a defensive future, but after watching him tackle every boy out there (no matter how big), I am beginning to change my mind. He doesn't really seem interested in catching or throwing, just tackling. Anyway, we had a great time, and those kids were worn out. More than one fell asleep on the way back to school. Before we left the field, I had all 5 kindergarten classes in the shape of a B (for Baker) at midfield and took their picture. It will be a great year book picture. I couldn't believe how cooperative 98 kindergartners were. Anyway, it was a great day.

Always clowning!

Hey, a mom can dream!
