Monday I did religion with all the kids. We read the 8th chapter of Matthew and Teresa did the 9th chapter in her religion book. We also prayed the Chaplet of Divine Mercy together.
On Tuesday we read about Ivan the Great and Ivan the Terrible in The World's Story and The Story of the World. Then we did the next Zoology lesson on flying reptiles, including pteranodons. Of course the proper way to follow up that lesson was to watch Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III.
On Wednesday we had a field trip to the Texas Roadhouse. The kids got to learn about the restaurant, take a tour of the kitchen, bake bread and bring it home, color and go on a scavenger hunt and then had lunch and bring home a bag of peanuts, all for free!
Thomas has discovered "Hi-Ya!" and the crayons bore the brunt of it.
On Thursday we went to the zoo, particularly to see the bats since we studied them last week. It was really neat to see how much bigger the fruit bats were than the "vampire" bats were, as well as how they fold their wings differently. I was surprised by how many different bats live in our state. We also visited the aviary, the apes, and the reptiles, where Thomas learned the word "cobra" and the snake and him followed each other for a bit. Brigid was a proud "big girl" and insisted on pushing the stroller around half of the zoo.
We also got to see their newest additions: a month old cow calf and a week old giraffe. It is funny how small an animal taller than one's self can seem beside it's parent.

On Friday we went to the Green Meadows Farm and had the extra treat of bringing daddy along.
