My Name Is . . .

Today, Dave also came home with this book.  My Name Is. . .

Inside the book is a picture of each kid in Dave's class.

Share Bag #2

Dave came home with the share bag again today.  Once again it took him a bit to figure out what he wanted to take in the bag.

He decided to take Bolt this time.

The last Day of Summer!

Is there a better place to spend the last day of summer but at the big zoo?

Taking a look at the Lego Rainforest.

Checking out some monkey's.

And here they are.

And of course we needed to see every turtle at the zoo!

I wouldn't want to meet these two in the wild.

Or this one!

And here are the big turtles, they were out having a nice stroll on the last day of summer.

And the big cats were also out enjoying the nice weather.

It's as if this big lion is asking Dave how's he's enjoying his last day of summer.

Have you ever played follow the leader with a jaguar?

Dave has!

And finally the newest member of the Philadelphia Zoo!

Sweet Freedom Bakery

I heard about Sweet Freedom Bakery several months ago and we have been wanting to go ever since.  Sweet Freedom Bakery is an allergen free bakery.  It was so much fun to see Dave's face when we told him that he could choose whatever he wanted in the bakery, since they do not use any mild products!!

And of course he had a hard time choosing so we came home with a couple of choices.  One of which was the biggest item they had, a chocolate crumble cake!!

Really enjoying his yummy chocolate crumble cake!!

Hero Thrill Show.

Today, we went to The Hero Thrill Show in Philadelphia.  All the precedes from the tickets go towards scholarships for kids whose Dad's were killed in the line of duty in Philadelphia.  Today, they were able to give away four full scholarships to 4 fallen hero's children.  

Of course first up was watching the fireman!  Can you see the one fireman hanging off of the 100 foot ladder?

He's coming down, the first firefighter is going to play the victim.

Here comes the second one, he's the rescuer.  Yes, you are seeing that right he's coming down upside down, 100 feet in the air.  

Almost at the victim.  The rescuer had to switch over to the other rope mid-air to lower the victim to the ground.

Lower him down.

And he's saved!!

Next up these two firman came down as fast as the could backwards!

That's right with no hands!!  And nothing but cement under them!

And of course there was a fire that needed to put to out!

Here come the firetrucks lights and sirens.

Getting their gear ready to fit the fire.

Going into the burning building.

Getting the fire under control.

And fire is out!

Up next the motorcycle stunt police!

Don't try this at home!

How many cops can you fit on one motorcycle?

The flower.

I wish you could have seen the stunts that these officers were preforming, just amazing!!

And the K-9's, Dave's favorite part.

A drug dog searching this car.  When he found the drugs, he tore the whole bumper off of the car!!

Getting a bad guy.

The memorial motorcycle created by West Coast Choppers.

Philadelphia police's helicopter.

What a great day we had at the Hero Thrill Show!!  We will be sure to go again next year!!

Making a World of a Difference.

Seylar's theme for this year is making a world of difference.  They are teaching the kids as a whole school how they can make a difference in the world.  Each day of the school year a different child's poster is chosen to be displayed on the bulletin board at the front of the school.  Dave finished his poster off tonight. The kids had to answer three questions:

1. A talent I have . . . a knowledge of animal facts.

2.  Someone who had made a world of difference to me . . . Mommy and Daddy.

3. My wish for the world . . . that there are no more bad guys.
