8th grade field trip

2 weeks ago I had the wonderful privilege of going on an 8th grade field trip with Emily to the Midway Aircraft Carrier. Big yellow school buses with no seat belts, teachers that threaten you with everything if you are not 100% perfect (I missed my calling) and lots of kids that have changed boy or girl friends by the time that the day is over. Boy I do not miss those days. I did have fun spending time with Emily and I was the coolest dad because I knew so much about the Midway, Emily told me that the boys in our group never listen to anyone and that they were hanging on every word that I said. It may have also been the fact that I let them touch every knob and button that we went past, about 12,981,936... I counted. Sorry not a lot of pictures battery died.

Guess Who?

I have one sister that I loved to play outside with.
I was born in1897.
I lived in Kansas.
On my first airplane ride we fly over the Santa Monica Pier.
I was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic ocean.










I am Amelia Earhart or at least Sarah dressed up as her. This was a great project that they did in her class. They had to research someone famous and then do an oral report.

Weekend with KC & Emily

A couple of weeks ago we went up to LA and spent the weekend with KC, Emily and the gang. We went to Hollywood and walked along Sunset blvd and saw the walk of fame. The kids got to put their hands in petri dishes, I mean hand prints in front of Chinese Theater.




We then went down to the Santa Monica Pier and had some fun.
