The Pick - Six: June 2011

Caitlin goes to the Tide Pools

This year Cait's class has been studying ocean life. As a culmination to that unit they take a field trip to the San Pedro Tide Pools. It was a really fun trip, especially since the kids all knew what they were looking for. Cait has a great teacher who had them make their own t-shirts, and had them make identification necklaces with all the sea creatures and their information on them.

Carsons Birthday Party

This year we decided it was time to let Carson have his own birthday party. Carson LOVES all things that have to do with "worker men and build huge amazing stuff!" So, we did a construction birthday party. He loved it and asked if he could have his party again the next day! Below are some fun pics from his party.

Look who's Six

A month and a half ago our sweet Grace turned 6. She has been wanting a play date with some girls from school so we had them over on her birthday. In normal Grace fashion they had to play dress-up.

Graces Field Trip to Malibu Ranger Station
