Seika Art Festival

This event is always a lot of fun for us because C gets so excited to show us what he'd been working on at school! This is the year of the horse so there were a lot of horse crafts and pictures around. 

This horse that he drew for this toy/craft was pretty awesome!  

Our family that he drew before Cookie. 

Beginning of the year vs now

This was a piece that the Kindergarten class made

Granny and the boys!

The school was cold so we stayed bundled up!

Sports Day

Seika Swim Week!

Cooper's school had a week of pool fun and I was lucky enough to have the day off to volunteer and be poolside.  It was so much fun seeing Coop interact with his peers and teachers in such a carefree environment. My responsibilities included, but not limited too: pre pool rinsing (kids), post pool rinsing and taking pictures.

Cooper and his friend Ian doing some serious splashing

They have a pretty awesome slide!

He loved watering the pool

Observation Day 2013

Coop wasn't sure about Sam running around his classroom! 

However, Sam was VERY excited to be at school with Coop!

What a difference a year makes!

Spring Field Trip - Enoshima Aquarium

This year's spring field trip was to Enoshima Aquarium. We're already fans of this aquarium so it was a fun chance for Coop to enjoy it with his classmates. 

Coop, I and G

I didn't take this pic, but had to share! (Thanks, Hallie!)

It's not a trip to Enoshima without a pic in the sub

My babies taking a break with the jellyfish

Spider crabs!! 

 

The aquarium is attached to a beach so the boys played in the sand a little bit before we had to be back on the bus!

Lunch with Mommy... Ramen, of course! 

Sumo Day

It looked cold out so initially Coop had his winter PE uniform on over his Summer one. 

Justino participated in the arm wrestling competition. He didn't take home the gold but had a good time anyway! 

Coop didn't want to stay with his class...

...and was a bit distracted...

...until he spotted Justin! 

Yup, they really had sumo wrestlers at Sumo Day!  

The older boys competed against each other. They looked pretty serious about it! 

Coop and a few classmates seemed more interested in playing with their thermoses! 

It's said to be good luck if a sumo wrestler holds your baby. We thought the photo op would be kind of fun!
