Her favorite thing besides bike riding now is FROZEN YOGURT! It’s serious business as you can see.
She had an assignment to choose and learn about and build a habitat. She chose the ocean. We watched Finding Nemo to prepare.
Only watching a movie of course won’t do! A great mom from Ella’s school brought her to the beach with her family for some more learning about the ocean!
Laying the paper for the ocean
Painting her sea turtle
We made sea creatures out of homemade play dough- super easy once you do it. (1 cup four, 1/4 cup salt. Mix it together and add 1/4 cup water)
We chose (I chose) to paint the animals rather than use food dye. The finished project got whisked off to school before I could get a shot of it!
Ella on Bike to School Day. She biked about 2 miles! “I did it without breaks! It was easy because I had water!”
A weekend ride up in Tiburon. See her in the distance?
Water Breaks
She is the best big sister and can make Phoebe laugh more than anyone. The only complaint is Phoebe will pull her hair constantly!
3 miles (Not 2) — No complaints even with the tiny bike that makes her legs go 5 times as many times around as everyone else. (It was fun ride to start to understand her determined personality.)
Wow!! 3 miles!! Amazing! Thanks so much for taking them Randy! It really meant a lot to me!
Just remembered the first time I met her last summer (at the hulu hoop-a-thon at the library) She was equally driven trying to make a kite fly.
