We had a fun weekend! We went to the Austin Aquarium on Saturday. It was a lot of fun, and they had more than just aquatic animals. Mercie and Titus went into the bird room and had birds landing on their hands, arms, and even heads! They got to feed them and pet them. Mercie pet every animal she was allowed to including turtles, sting rays, starfish and birds!
Zeke loved the alligators and parrots! He got a stuffed parrot to take home.
Sunday we went bowling and had brunch at the bowling alley. I had a breakfast quesadilla and it was delicious! We had fun bowling, too.
This week Titus started using My Father's World Adventures in U.S. History. We received this entire package free to use and review. This is truly a blessing and we are excited about it! The first week went great! Titus reviewed countries and oceans, states, and map directions. He also learned about Leif the Lucky and the Vikings.
We talked about his name and what his name means because he will be learning about the names of Jesus this year. He even got to make us a special snack - graham cracker with our names written in icing!

We read some in a science encyclopedia for kids and did a quick experiement with eggs, water, and salt. We put water in both cups, but added salt to only one. He dropped an egg in each to see which egg would float. He knew the egg with the salt would float because we learned about the Dead Sea last year, and he remembered that the salt in the Dead Sea makes people float!
He worked in his language arts, math, cursive handwriting, and art workbooks. He also did some reading. I am reading aloud to him from "Pilgrim Adventures" and he is enjoying that.

We made several trips to the library for movies and books. We have to wear a mask everywhere which really stinks. I don't make my kids mask because I don't think it's healthy. What is your opinion on masks?
Zeke is cheesin' big time!
