All Aboard!
Keeley had long johns on underneath her pj's because it was so cold outside...but the train was so hot! Nana is helping Keeley take the top off:)

The girls with our train chef - same as last year!!!

Reading the story - Keeley was so attentive and told us to be quiet because she couldn't hear!

Santa Clause!

Getting a bell from Santa

Singing Carols on the way back from the North Pole

Santa signed the book before the train ride!

Gymnastics with Mr. Bruce

Parents are allowed to watch from the outside, so that is why there is glare in the pictures.

Learning how to do back bend flips off the cushy mat

She has a hard time lifting up with her legs and arms (I have her doing 3 pushups a day now to strenthen her arms so she can do handstands, cartwheels, and backbends!!!)

The fancy finish

And again...

Girl Scouts at the Phoenix Zoo

Keeley fresh and excited. We had just learned about animals in the wild v. animals that have been domesticated. We were on our way to see the constellations at the planetarium.

Keeley now bored and tired...why do we have to do all of Brook's things first???
Watching the Mandrill's being fed. Very interesting. Spock, the dominant male, didn't want the two girls eating any of their snack!

Finally! Learning about composting and conserving energy at the Daisy station!!!

Keeley earned her Green Petal and Rose Petal for Discover, Connect, & Take Action:

· Discover how the Zoo uses resources wisely on Harmony Farm.
· Make signs to hang up at home to remind them to conserve natural resources.
· Plant native clover to take home.
· Explore the Worm Bin and learn why worms are important.

Don't you love the way she cuts with scissors???

She was so tired, she couldn't keep up with us. I was so tired, I wanted to get outta there!

African Elephant bones...Keeley was intrigued.
