February School Vacation week is one that I work.  The kids had a choice to come to the camp at my school or stay with Nana and Papa.  True to form- they each decided something different.

Aidan’s highlights included getting a copy of the Constitution while visiting the Mass Archives and going to the Tea Party Ship.

Bren loved painting Uranus, going to the planetarium and finding a way to wear his princess shoes as indoor shoes at camp.

Straight laced and unlaced.

President’s Day, Abe Lincoln’s birthday included, is a big deal to Aidan.  For the second year in a row we celebrated by going to the JFK Library.  This year Aidan’s good friend came along.  She has been in his class since he began at the Condon, and will be in his class next year.  They are very similar and had a fun time talking about presidential trivia, school and words they knew in Latin.

The day itself was full of impersonations (John Adams and Thomas Jefferson), crafts (Lincoln’s hat and a space capsule).  And there was trivia.  I love that Aidan looks forward to this- and that Bren is a good sport about going!!

Over the summer we had fun tubing and zorbing.  This past weekend we went back to Amesbury Sports Park for Snow Tubing! So much fun!  We are loving having fun outdoors with our big kids!
