Our Internet service has been going in and out for the last couple of days and no repairman until tomorrow (and that's if we're lucky). We're leaving tomorrow night for Cincinnati to jump on the Amtrak at 3:30 a.m. to go to the east coast to visit Rich's family. It feels like the last hurrah of summer. We'll probably won't post to the blog as much as usual for the next week or so.
Yesterday Meghan and I took a slew of kids to the zoo....Luke, Aaron, and Raha, plus Zachariah and her step daughter Madison. Aaron is finally able to fully appreciate the train and he grinned and giggled through the ride. Raha surprised me by asking several times if the animals were real - with the rhinos, pygmy hippos, and reptiles - which really reminded me of just how limited his experience is sometimes. He was a hoot though, so excited that he easily took 100 photos through the day of all the animals. I'll post some pics of the day when I get a chance around packing and travelling. We had so much fun that we're planning another trip to the zoo before the school year starts, but next time to visit the Australia section and the splash park.
It's the middle of the night and I'm tired and cranky. As usual there are more things I want to do than there are hours in a day. Tomorrow morning I meet with a group of baby teachers to talk about classroom management related to science modules and math investigations. Nice group of teachers and I get to do it with my friend Sabeen, so maybe it is worth being up past midnight to prep?
