Isaac's 1st day of Kindergarten!!!

Well today was the day! Isaac's 1st day of Kindergarten. Over the weekend Isaac surprised us by setting up his own desk in the basement, near mine. He put a jar of pencils, a ruler, some paper, some books, his Spanish Dictionary! and a few decorations on his red table. Everything was all lined up and organized it was hilarious!!

So he was clearly ready for the big day.

We all woke up early, got dressed, had breakfast, packed his backpack and took some pictures.

Then we headed to the bus stop. On the way, we saw all of the neighborhood kids heading out to their stops....it was unbelievable how many kids came popping out of their houses. We saw Kenny(who is going to Cedar Ridge) heading out so we walked over and said hi to him and his parents. Then we headed back to Isaac's stop where we saw his friend Julia who is in 1st Grade in Isaac's school(Spanish Immersion). As we were waiting Kenny's bus drove by and he waved from the window with a big smile on his face!

Finally, Isaac's bus came and he ran right up to it and got on. He sat next to his friend Julia and had a nice "relaxing" ride to school. After school, he was very excited and said he really liked Kindergarten!

Back to the Zoo

We went to the Minnesota Zoo today and rode the monorail, walked around and saw lots of animals. The highlights were definitely the grizzly bear and the dolphin show!

The bear came right up to the glass and appeared to give Isaac a high-5! The dolphins had a baby that was about 3 months old and the grandfather was doing tricks!

Oh, and their was boiling mud...which the kids really liked.

Last Hockey Class of the Summer

Isaac and Olivia had their last hockey class of the summer. Olivia skated with and without the bucket on the biog ice! Isaac was practicing his puck handling and falling and getting back up as he skates.

Looks like they had a lot of fun! See the video and pictures.

Twins/Tigers Game

After Isaac's Open House we headed down town to the Twins Game. They were playing the Detroit Tigers.

See some more pictures and a short video here. Isaac was taking video and narrating for a few minutes and I did not even know.....he was pretty funny.

Isaac's Kindergarten Open House

We had Isaac's Kindergarten open house last night where we were able to meet Isaac's teacher and check out his classroom. Isaac had made a drawing for his teacher and gave it to her. He is pretty excited to start school next week!
