I can't believe I am the mother of a 7th grader and a 4th grader! It really does blow my mind and I have no idea where the time went! The kids were a little nervous about starting school this year, but once the first day was behind them, they felt much more secure. Both kids got to see friends from their classes last year, and are already making many new friends. It helps tremendously to have daddy home now as well!
Not a bad picture for a delayed timer with a bunch of 6-year-olds! I am blessed to be teaching up at the same campus where Casey goes to school. You can actually see his classroom from mine, so I get to see him all day long and keep a really close eye on him! I think he's still trying to decide whether that's a good thing or not!
Kyla had an extraordinary opportunity last week. She was selected, along with 3 other students from her school, to go for a surface dive in the protected tide pools of the Monterey Bay Aquarium. She had her own personal dive instructor that helped her from start to finish.
Kyla had fun putting on all of the gear and wasn't nervous at all about using a regulator or putting her head underwater.
Kyla got to see starfish, decorator crabs, sea cucumbers, and other various types of fish. She was having lots of fun until a flounder moved unexpectedly below her! She was pretty much finished after that!
Kyla was very brave and had a wonderful day with her dad and her friends at the aquarium. The organization that sponsored the dive, Accessible Events, will have more pictures and video of the dive on their website soon, so I will post the link once they get it set up.
