Hurricane Michael

Oma and Opa are visiting and we had another hurricane! The bright side was that Mommy and Ayla didn't have to go to school so we got to spend lots of time with Oma and Opa. Mommy also got to take me to school on Thursday because my pre-school was open. After the rain stopped, we went for a walk in the neighborhood. Ayla and I had a great time jumping in puddles!! Here are some pictures and videos.....

Walking with Oma.

Jumping in the puddles was so much fun!!!

Our Nature Trail was flooded again.

I found every puddle to jump in!

Oh my!

It looks like I ran a Spartan Race! Haha!

We had delicious Spaetzle for dinner.

We are thinking about all of the people that suffered major damage from this storm and feel blessed that once again, the damage here was minimal.

Birthday Weekend!

This year Daddy gave me three options for my birthday....
1. Carowinds with a few friends.
2. A birthday party with friends.
3. A family weekend away.

I chose the family weekend away and last Friday we went to Atlanta, Georgia to celebrate my birthday. We stayed in downtown Atlanta and enjoyed going to the Georgia Aquarium, The World of Coca-Cola (where I got to try my first sip of Coke!), and went on the Ferris Wheel. Here are pictures from my birthday weekend......

We stopped in Spartanburg on Friday night for dinner.

The aquarium was so cool!

The diver even waved for our picture!

If you look closely, you can see the dolphin
in the water.

Waiting for the dolphin show to begin.

This was before the show. We couldn't take pictures during it.
We were so close that we were in the "splash zone".
We did get wet!

We walked through this cool tunnel.

This huge window was so neat! Check out the whale shark!

Penguins!

We got to see what size sting ray we are.

Cheers! Prost!

Exploring The World of Coca-Cola.

We tasted samples from all over the world.

We ended our weekend at a Braves restaurant.

I had a wonderful birthday weekend! Mommy and Daddy can't believe that I am eight!!

Thanks to everyone who sent birthday wishes. Love and miss you all!

Pre-School

I started Pre-School last week. I get to go to school on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Pappy drops me off at 9:30 and picks me up at 1:00. I had a great first week. Of course Mommy took LOTS of pictures on my first day of school and my teacher even sent her a picture on my first day. Both of my teachers take lots of pictures and share them with the parents. Here are some pictures from my first week of school......

I had "homework" before school started.

I had to complete an "All About Me" assignment.

We can't figure out how to flip this image.

My teacher sent this picture to Mommy.

I love the playground.

"This green spaghetti felt like real
spaghetti that we can eat."

I am having so much fun at school. I even learned a song about peanut butter that I am singing non-stop!
