Kate DiCamillo

We went to a book signing by one of the kid's favorite authors.  She's a Minnesota girl and is very entertaining to listen to.  It was fun to hear how she came up with some of her book ideas.  The kids got a picture and the teacher in me had to get one, too.

Art Show

Bamber Valley had an art show.  These are the masterpieces!

We went on a Catamaran cruise.  We snorkeled and got to swim with sting rays and a shark.

Excursion #1

We rode ATV's to some places outside Punta Cana.

Macao Beach

Had to take a picture of a school on the back roads

We had such a great time on our trip!  Loved the sun, beach, fruity drinks and time to relax.

Luck of the Irish

We're 100% Irish on St. Patrick's day because it's fun! 

Birthday Girl

She brought popsicles to school to share and we tried the Pizza Ranch for supper.

We also went to Disney on Ice and the Mall of America to celebrate our girl being SIX!

She has been asking for a suitcase for awhile now.  She's ready to travel!

Her first roller coaster- she loved it!  She went on it twice and wanted to keep going.

Winter for the Record Books
