Peace out, Earth!!!

Ello ello! Here is my download of my life since my last post about London!
London was in the middle of the Summer, and now it's February, so I've got a LOT to say.


1st of all, once Apa and Sean left, we went to Barcelona, Spain. We had lots of fun, watching a dancing fountain show, exploring the city, but we left (to somewhere more interesting, if you ask me) to the (drumroll please) DISNEY CRUISE!!! It was sooooo cool! We did everything there was to do! One of my favorite things were having fun days with all the activities, but especially the cool dinner places. My favorite was Animators Palette! That was sooooo fun! Our last stop was then Barcelona again, doing more of beginning of the school year shopping.

Then, when the excitement dreadfully ended, we went back to school, with all of supplies, with the information that I was in Mr. Oates' class. I knew him from my first day at ISA, but not very well. But then it also said Ms. Spanjaard, a 2nd grade teacher who had a baby and then left for a while, as well. So I was wondering who was my teacher. Turns out, Ms. Spanjaard teaches on Mondays and Mr. Oates teaches on Tuesday-Friday. Ms. Spanjaard is a sub from Tuesdays-Wednesday and Thursdays is her day off as she subs on Fridays, too. Mr. Oates' day off is Monday because he says he has been working for a long time (which I don't blame hime - 30 something years :-) ) and Ms. Spanjaard has her Thursday off to spend time with her adorable baby (which she shows us sweet videos of her).

We've done lots of fun things at school so far. The ISA website'll tell you about 4FO/IS's learning and field trip. But now, we are making up our plays for our ATWAS unit (all the worlds a stage) and in art, we're making our masks. Today, I started to paint my mask after all that time building it.

So far in our school year, we've had 2 breaks. In the 1st one, we went to Greece. We started in Athens and did the whole historical business, and then we relaxed on the beach all day for the last days. I'd say I prefer the beach, but it was all very beautiful besides the raining.
The 2nd break, we went to Africa with the Newman family. It was SOOOOO cool. Again, 1st we stayed in Tanzania and did a super cool Safari, seeing basically all the animals we would DREAM of seeing!! My favorite were the lion cubs and the Giraffe. They both were soooo pretty. Then, we spent some time in Zanzibar on the beach, and that was pretty nice. I got a chance to swim with dolphins, learn how to snorkel, tried to snorkel the coral reef and I fed zebra fish. That was sooooo cool. I LOVED Africa.

After Africa, it was my birthday!! I had a fun birthday party and yummy cupcakes. I planned out my whole birthday meal - Daddy's pancakes for breakfast, Mech sandwiches for lunch and the hard rock cafe for dinner. It was soooo fun!!

And when we went back to school, we got a new girl called Josephine, who's Dutch. She's really nice, and our nickname for her is Jo.

Well, that's basically it!
