    Silly Karlie!

    While at Magic Kingdom we had so much fun!  It was great to get a chance to spend time having a grand time together as a family.  We enjoyed our adventures and exploring the various places around Magic Kingdom.  While we were in line we had opportunities to talk and catch up on the various activities that had been going on over the past few days.

    The girls loved this moving bridge over the water.

    P1390087c

    This was my view across the river when I was crossing the bridge.  Pretty, but at a funky angle.

    Jake figured out that he could splash the water on the girls when he bounced a little on the bridge, they thought it was great.

    Brina’s Book Report

    Recently, the girls had to the do a book report for school.  Brina read the book Dinosaurs Before Dark by Mary Pope Osborne for her book report.  She had to come up with a box or container for her book report.  Jake helped her put together this super cool tree house for her book report.  She had a blast picking out the perfect branch, helping Jake cut it, glue together the pieces, put the tree house together, and decorate it.  Karlie read the book Foal in the Fog by Ben M. Baglio for her book report.

    Brina’s tree house had a slot in the top where she could store all her book report papers and items for her presentation.

    Brina picked out a variety of pictures and put her information on the base of the tree house.

    Her tree house turned out really well and she did awesome well on her book report presentation!  Her tree house was picked to be put on display in their school library!
